Hi,

I was filling up the CAF form and we put Colchester County High School for girls as our first choice. I noticed when we search for CCHSG it brings up the address as unknown and post code as ZZZZZZ. Is it the right option, has anyone faced the same issue o do I bring it to the notice of the school admissions.

I wouldn’t expect the system to search for initials you probably need to search on the full name or first word of the full name.

Sorry I wasn't clear. We searched the full name and the school it brings up on the search says Colchester County High School for Girls but with no address or postcode.

Try submitting, then look into your account and check that all of your preferences have been recorded?

Thsnks for your replies. I have submitted the form too. It recorded all my choices and Colchester is present as first choice but without the address, hence the doubt.
