Y6 Destinations - non selective schools not included

[MmeMorrible]

Help me work out why this is bothering me so much. DDs school has for the first time decided to put posters up all over the school listing secondary schools and the number of places and scholarships that the current Y6 have been offered.

But the list doesn't include any of the 'non-selective' schools so the state boarding comprehensive school my DD is going to isn't listed, nor the local free school and two other comprehensives that children in her year group will be going to. In short about 1/3 of the year groups choices are not on the list.

Said list includes all the places offers, not just those accepted so actually 3 of those places and 1 of the scholarships are DDs but we have politely turned them down, yet our actually choice is not fit to be listed?

I can't quite out my finger on what's making me feel that this is all wrong. Am I being precious?

List is not as you describe Inpatient. It is like this:

School Name A - 3 places & 2 music scholarships
School Name B - 5 places, 1 sports, 1 academic scholarship
School Name C - 4 places
Etc....

There is nothing that says that only selective schools are listed and nothing that indicates that multiple places & scholarships have been awarded per child. As I said upthread 3 of these places and 1 of the scholarships are my DDs, but the school know we have declined them.

I have no problem with the school producing marketing bumpf for prospective parents but when there are posters at child's eye height on every entrance door, in every corridor and a massive display board in the front of the school hall I'm more concerned with the feelings of the group of children excluded from this, not just my DD.

Mme: it's different from the schools local to me then. But the schools that I know of also don't put posters around the school, they would only include those lists on the school website and in the school prospectus. Children can still access the website, but it's less in your face than having huge garish posters around the school.
It's still misleading to some parents who take the statistics at face value, but I like to think that most people have the good sense to realise that a school with only 15 children in year 6 can't have 45 senior places being allocated and accepted. I would also like to think that most parents are aware that scholarships are often monetarily tokenistic or honorary and so they aren't that important.
