What happens now once all the scores are in? My daughter scored 367 so was in the green zone for ColCHS. I thought that I fill out the application for the 31st Oct with ColCHS with a very high chance of getting a place based on her score and then the local comp as our 2nd choice (basically our only choices!). Daughter keeps asking me if she definitely is in to the ColCHS and I can only really say I think so.... Someone told me we receive an offer letter from ColCHS direct on the 3rd March.
You complete your own LA's CAF - presumably Essex? - then wait for March 2nd. It would seem highly unlikely that your DD won't get a place at ColCHS with her score, but it would be sensible to explain to her that you really do have to wait until you find out in March before you are entirely sure, because that's the truth. The allocation of places actually comes through your LA, but a 'welcome pack' from the allocated school usually follows pretty soon after you accept the place.
