Apparently they moved to go to this school and are mystified as to how their primary school classmates got in.
The admissions document makes it pretty clear:

Basically they have fair banding with a distance policy. Depending on your band the cut off distance could be between half a mile and over a mile.
The school from the photo looks to be more than half a mile away, so that's that really
Not sure how this is news.
I suppose a lottery would be fairer, and eliminate the entitlement complex that you deserve to get in based on your postcode.
