Hello, despite the misleading user name, I am having to consider Harrogate Grammar School for Sept 2018 yr7 entry. Previously we had discounted this as we are aware of how close you have to be to Arthurs Avenue to fall in the town catchment category, (about 1 and a half miles I understand for child with no sibling at the school). However, a senior family member in the town has suddenly started telling us that the criteria are changing, and we would stand more chance from where we are if we applied. We have looked online and cannot see that the facts have changed, so are curious as to where family member has got wind of this from. Anyone closer to the fray in Harrogate have any ideas on this? Background - family member would want our our child to go to HGS for complicated reasons and is not happy with our intended destination for child - we would gladly send child to HGS, but current catchment is against us and house move not an option.
