Just heard through a Private school parent (and had it confirmed by the local LEA - Gloucestershire) that this years year 6 admissions will only get their first place choice (if successful) allocated - in that, if you put a Grammar school down as 2nd or 3rd choice, and they passed the enterance exam, you will not be able to review these places - therefore giving you the only option of
A) putting you local state school as first place choice, and not putting them in for Grammar schools, or
B) putting a Grammar school down as first place choice and keeping your fingers crossed that they pass (and get in). Last year you can review 2nd and 3rd place choices
This all seems really wrong
Or is this in place in other LEA's?
Would be very interested as loads of year 5 parents and children are going to be affected by this change and we need to know if we can do anything about this....
Thanks
