st thomas
please advice ! thanks

Waterleys is in wigston borders Knight on and sometimes knighton children manage to get an out catchment place and it feeds into bushloe now joined with Abington and known as wigston academy

Thomas More- unlikely to get in unless practising Catholic. St John the Baptist- unlikely to get in if not practising some faith. Priority goes to Christians but there are many children of Islamic, Sikh, Hindu faiths and more.
Overdale is very highly regarded catchment school. Have no idea of it's ethnic breakdown but Leic is a successfully diverse city.
Avenue primary is catchment school for Clarendon Pk and other areas. It has had issues with OFSTED in recent years but is regarded as a a good solid school by most parents.

Hi I moved to Oadby 2 months ago and can't believe the problems I am having getting my two children into a local school. We have not moved within Leicestershire to specifically target Oadby schools like a lot of people seem to be doing. However, my children have been out of school for over 2 months and all school places in Oadby are full, with none available for September either. Currently we have no confirmed places so still do not know whether they will be allocated places in September. They are due to start Year 2 and Year 6 from September. We've appealed and are currently awaiting a decision. However, the news on the grapevine is that most appeals are unsuccessful and that unless there is a specific medical or special educational needs reason, we are unlikely to get into any local schools. I have already been told not to get my hopes up. The nearest school to us with places for both my children currently is Kibworth over 5 miles away and by the time my application is processed this may no longer be available.

To top it all off, I have looked at the admissions criteria for Beauchamp and Gartree for when my eldest goes to High school in September 18 and have been informed that despite living within 0.5 miles and within the catchment area, my son will not get in to Beauchamp as he has not attended a feeder school for a minimum of 2 years beforehand. This was quite clearly impossible as we have only just moved to Leicestershire. Apparently children living in Leicester City will take precedent in their admissions criteria over my child who lives in the area as we have only just moved. Am due to check out the Gartree admissions policy to see whether this is true for them as well

Does anyone have any advice or information they could share with me? Thank you.
