We are looking at a secondary schools for our DC for a couple of years time and one has a very different admissions criteria to the others in the area. After from SEN and looked after children, the school then take 10% on sport or drama (but give no details of how this is tested!), then catchment, then out of catchment.
It states that if any catergory is over subsribed, a lottery will be used.
So my query is, if a lottery is used, how would a waiting list work after initial allocations. I have twins so would be very wary of applying to a school where a lottery is used anyway, but it does look like a great school.
Does anyone have any experience of this?
