Is that a grammar school and nothing else or a grammar school plus other schools?

You need a 'safe bet' somewhere on the CAF.

I had intended only to list AGS, but will put also now put KES as an outside chance. I appreciate what you mean about the ‘safe bet’ but we have alternate plans should he not get in. Wouldn’t really want to take a place we would never intend to accept.

With regard to proof of address - we have a problem. It turns out that my husband's filing system has "lost" this year's council tax bill... will I be able to apply by the 31st without it? I've emailed the council to ask if we can have a copy, but I don't know how fast a turnaround to expect.

If I were to go through with the application submission without attaching any proof of address at this stage, would our application be rejected? Aargh!

Vicksteroo I think one of the earlier posters mentioned they’d been into the council offices and been able to get a copy pretty much on the spot. If you don’t provide it by 31st October then I think your application would be treated as ‘late’ and so you wouldn’t get an offer on 1 March. I hope you can get a copy soon.

Thanks Olog08 - what a nightmare! I'll have to send the hubster as I don't work anywhere near the council offices... thanks for your reply though.

I telephoned my local council and they e-mailed it to me within a few hours.

In short, though, yes, if you do not provide proof of address by their deadline, your application will be classed as late and you will not be considered in the first round of offers on 1st March.
