If anyone is willing would you share your music scores so helpful for those that have taken the test.
Very best wishes to everyone .
Don’t forget the lower choices on your CAF need to be increasingly realistic and it is prudent to list your local catchment school.School admissions across the country
School admissions are coordinated by local authorities to ensure that children across the country are offered a single school place on the same day. This system is fairer, with more parents being offered one of their preferred schools earlier.
All applications are considered at the same time. Admission rules are applied equally, regardless of how you ordered (ranked) the schools on your form.
We will only use your order of preference (rank) if it's possible to offer your child a place at more than one of your preferred schools. If this is the case, we'll offer you a place at the highest ranked school possible.
The allocation process is automated for all community schools. Officers aren't involved and don't influence decisions. The only exceptions are when deciding whether a child qualifies for a place under Rule 2 and when allocating a school not ranked on your application form.
Schools and academies responsible for their own admissions provide us with a list of pupils they will offer places to.
We offer all places on behalf of all schools in Hertfordshire.

But I'm still a bit confused. We're in a priority postcode for Parmiter's, and as you know, last year the lowest score of a child allocated a place under the music criterion was 41. Does that mean that we're very likely to get Parmiter's if we put it first? (or even second?)
My daughter really liked Parmiter's, but she also liked STAGS. We don't live close to STAGS though, so if we put it first we're probably not going to get it and would have to go on the continued interest list and say no to Parmiter's... right? Am I understanding the system correctly?
