Silly CAF question
Hi all, can you put anything in the additional info box for the online application? I assume it's there for the medical / social / ethical reasons, but what about a comment stating a dc's interest in that particular school based on curriculum specialism etc or is it not taken into account?
Thanks
Thanks
SCAF additional info box...
What's it for? Is it only looked at in the case of an appeal? Ad therefore, if you qualify for a school on your list, do they simply ignore the additional info?
Sorry if a silly question, but it threw me when I saw it online!

I don't think many people put much in the box - I think it maybe for people who specifically want a school as it is single gender for example.

Re: Silly CAF question
I suspect little notice is takne of the extra box unless it is something like wanting a single gender school etc
Re: SCAF additional info box...
Good question - the box is only there because admissions law says it must be!

Re: SCAF additional info box...
I believe it adds more weight in an appeal if you have filled it in with your reasons at the application stage although for the majority, I doubt it makes much difference in the initial round of allocations.
Re: SCAF additional info box...
Thank you all. As I guessed. Think I'll leave blank!
Re: SCAF additional info box...
Its probably there for entertainment of the admissions staff!
I bet there are some funny things put in that box, parents are often nearing insanity by that stage of the process.
