I have been told by two different people (one being a parent governer) that local authorities are doing away with catchment areas and you can now (or very soon will be able to) choose any school in the city for your kids.
I'm trying to move into the current catchment area of our chosen school and probably will continue to do so incase this isn't true but if it is, how on earth is it going to work out?
In Hull for instance there are probably 3 decent secondary schools in the entire city, now surely if it becomes a free for all, every parent in the city is going to be choosing these 3 schools and the bad schools (i.e. the majority) are going to be terribly under-subscribed (more so than they already are!).
Can anyone shed any light on this?
