Hi just had the allocation come through from slough Council.
My order was

BGS
Slough option1
Slough option 2
Bucks option 1-outside catchment
Bucks option 2-outside catchment
We stay like 2.6 miles from bgs and was hoping we
Get thwt but it's not.
Should I wait till tomorrow to see when bucks allocation come thru? Or it should have come already?
Not sure what do now? Should I go on waiting list?
Were you sure you would get on of these schools? What school did you get allocated? (I’m assuming one not on your list.) This is why we always advise that at least one choice on the CAF that you are sure you would get and would be OK with.
Most schools/LAs will automatically put you on the waiting lists for higher preference schools you didn’t get, but it’s always a good idea to check this is what happens. Some WLs move a fair bit others hardly at all.
We don’t have much data about how many appeals are successful for the Slough GS, so if you go for it, please let us know how you get on.
(As Mitasol says, you get one allocation for one school via Slough LA, so you won’t hear from Bucks, apart from possibly being told where you are on the waiting list.)
