Putting the school you want at the top of the CAF is the right thing to do - you can only appeal when you are application for a place there is declined.
Thanks so much, I’ve heard so many contradictory pieces of advice and I’m anxious to get it right as the deadline for the CAF is today.
Does anyone know if the appeal panel will know if I have requested to appeal for another school too? And will they know the order of my CAF?
I don't know about Kent, but in Essex, the answers to those would be 'No' and 'Yes', respectively - the latter because seeing the way that you completed your CAF is the easiest way of trying to work out whether any mistakes appear to have been made in the way that an application was handled.
On the first, it would be possible for an individual IAP member to know, because they had also sat on the panel for another school, but that is not relevant, because each appeal is only for the one individual school, so that is what the panel is looking at today, so to speak.
