Hi. My DC2 has been allocated a reception place at our local school (not my first choice but a very good school). DC1 attends a different school. I want to move DC1 to the local school but it has no free places. I've been told that the school are not allowed to operate a waiting list and that places outside reception are allocated on a first come first served basis. Seems very odd that having a sibling at the school and being in catchment hold no sway and that if someone living miles away phoned up before me, they would be allocated the place. Does anyone know if this is standard procedure?

No admission waiting list held for key stage 2. Is this normal?
