The daughter of one of my friends has changed her mind about the order of schools she put down for her secondary schools application recently.

She put Sale above AGGS but now wishes to swap.

Does anyone know how she can proceed with this? I’m guessing she will have to accept the Sale place once awarded (she is well within catchment for both schools) and then ask to be put on AGGS waiting list?

Any wisdom or experience to add?

The area of the LEA website where she made her application should have guidance on how to complete the form, 'What if's etc.

In most places, a change to the order of preferences, unless due to a house move but then only up to a certain date, would be classed as a late application and not dealt with until after all on time applications.
