3rd preference on CAF.
As ds passed 11+ and st anselms, I would be putting WGBS and st anselms on the CAF as first and second preference. I was wondering if it would be best to put a non-grammar school as the 3rd preference just in case he doesn't get the first two. Any thoughts or advice from any veteran 11+ posters here.
What will you guys be putting down as your 3rd choice.

In theory, you should get your choice, however, as an insurance policy, may be as well to put Caldy down as 3rd option, rather than the local comp. We've all seen how things have been messed up lately!parent_of_two wrote:As ds passed 11+ and st anselms, I would be putting WGBS and st anselms on the CAF as first and second preference.

Re: 3rd preference on CAF.
you are right, we could put Caldy as the 3rd choice, but is a quite a distant to travel to everyday as we live no where to West kirby.
Can someone confirm whether WGBS is allocated by distant from home to school or is it allocated to the highest mark on the 11+ first. E.g someone with 280 will be given higher preference to some else with 236 mark. Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: 3rd preference on CAF.
places are given on distance not on who scored the highest
Have you checked if there is a bus to caldy. We have put down west kirby as 1 of our preferences. Its about 15 miles away from us but there is a school bus from here to there
