I was astonished to hear a rumour circulating in the playground that the Head has offered to call an out-of-catchment-sibling parent to let them know if there are no-shows during YR so that they can then bring the child into the school. The LA would be informed retrospectively and this child would supposedly jump all other children on the waiting list.
I have several views on this. One is to tell the Head that this story is going about as it brings her reputation into disrepute and she may need to clarify the admission process via the newsletter.
The other is to contact the Admissions team at the LA so that they can make sure that nothing like this happens and to keep a close eye on admissions to the school.
The other is to feel cross and do nothing about it.
