Ah that's interesting, one of the schools in the admissions book when Kelsey went actually stated that it wouldn't consider pupils who hadn't put it as first choice, think it was one of the grammar schools. Think it was worded something like " if your child passes the entrance exam but we weren't the first choice priority will be given to others who passed the exam and did put it as first choice" ;it then went on to give you percentages showing how this worked in practice and basically you were stuffed as there were so few places and you didn't put it first !
