What were the reasons why you placed Weald of Kent above Wilmington on your CAF in the first place? Do there not still apply? (Presumably yes, if you kept your DD's name on the waiting list).
'Flexibility of transport' would actually be a big plus for me, if other things were equal, but if that were the only criterion, then I would choose a very much more local option.
Did the original ranking on your CAF reflect your order of preference, or your DD's? If it was hers, does she still think that she would prefer WoK over Wilmington, or have her priorities changed?
If you stick with the option which relies on a private coach service, how will she get to school if she misses the coach, or home again if she wants to join an after school club / is picked to represent her school in a sport or other activity / just wants to wind down at the end of the day with her friends?
