Hi all,
I’m panicking a bit!!
We applied to both Adams andTTS. Adams is our first choice. I’ve just been reading the application guide from T&W council and it says that an offer from TTS will supersede the allocation made by the LA. What does this mean?
Does it mean that if TTS make an offer then Adams won’t even if they normally would make an offer???
Help!!
I am not in your area and have no idea how the local authority previously worded it, but my understanding from reading allocation posts on here has always been that those who have applied to Thomas Telford as well as 'normal' state schools and who get a TT offer also get a 'normal' offer. This thread is from earlier this year:

Our DD was offered TT as well as Newport High, but it was an easy decision to decline TT.
She's not too bothered about the superior TT sports facilities and results at NGHS are far better.
So one place up for grabs for the 1000 who didn't get offered TT!
Until yesterday I would have agreed with the comments about actively seeking sporty kids, but the 2 or 3 most talented sporty ones at DD's school didn't get offered a place. In previous years it would almost have been a 'given' that they would get places, so maybe there has been a slight shift in emphasis.
