We are in a close knit rural area. We didn't get a place at our local catchment area school because some parents from outside the catchment area moved out of their "substantial" family homes into dilapidated flats next door to the school... We are 0.6 miles from the school but didn't get a place because of distance. Last year children were admitted from a distance of up to 1.54 miles. So now what? Everybody rush into those flats? If I new I would move too
Could anyone advise what is the law, the rules and any precedents, which could help to decide, and eventually demonstrate, whether those parents should not be offered the place because their real residence is outside the catchment area?
