There is a consultation in the borough I live in, which is looking at changing catchment areas for some primary schools.
One of the proposals put forward is removing catchments for 5 or 6 schools in the most populous and popular area, and having a priority area. There will then be several assigned virtual school points and admission to a given school will be assigned according to how close a child lives to the virtual school point.
Does anyone live in an area where this already happens? What has been the effect and are there any major disadvantages?
My children won't be affected by this model so I'm just curious how it works. Obviously the parents who live within the proposed catchments will definitely have opinions!
