Thanks KCG - I also thought this might have been a more formal request.
We did not have an issue this year but we did last year. We completed everything on time, when the offer came out we had been offered our second choice school (comp). When I received the scores letter I realised there was a problem. We are in Northants and I don't think the information had been passed properly between counties and it was resolved by WCC in about 10 days.
We had our first letter go missing
We were down as out of area on the paper work when we received it so I called up to correct it as I did not want to be further down the line having to correct it or have a place missed because of admin.
I emailed proof of address and accepted the email received confirmation email as proof of sending.
I sent 3 rather than 2 proof docs
I called them to say they had still got out of area when received 2nd letter (score letter)
Basically I read documents provided , noted deadlines and dates when letters should arrive at home by and absorbed a lot if info off here to keep me in check.
I think that for future people going through the process need to be more conscious of what is required and when. Council probably aren't going to dramatically change and so parents are going to have to be on the ball more!
