The whole system is idiotic when there are other parents who are travelling to the school that is on the parents doorstep that have been refused their local school. I never had this problem when my children were at school, it was so simple you went to the school that was in your catchment area and not a bus ride away, the sooner we return to that the better. I am sure it would be a lot healthier for the children as the schools where within walking distance.

If a place comes up then take it. 1)Have you appealed the original placement decision?
