Here’s the guidance provided by Kingston Borough:
Quote:
School preferences
The order of preference in which you list your schools is confidential. Schools are not told the preference order in which you have listed them.
Each school listed on your application considers your child’s application against its admission criteria only and not according to the order of preference you put the school on your application. This guarantees that, for example, an application from a parent who has ranked the school as sixth preference is considered equally to an application where the school is ranked as first preference.
If your child meets the admission criteria for more than one school, your home council will look at your preference order and you will be offered the highest preference school for which your child has met the admission criteria.
If your home council is not able to offer your child a place at any of the schools you applied for, you will be offered, where possible, a place at another school.
Order of preference
You should think carefully about your order of preference when you decide how to list the schools you are applying for. This is because if your child qualifies for a place at a number of schools, you will only be made one offer at the school that you named as a higher preference.
If you apply for selective schools, please be aware that even if your child qualifies for a place, your child will not be offered a place at a selective school if they have also qualified for a school that you list as a higher preference on your application. If you are applying to more than one selective school, you should
list the schools in the order that you prefer them.
