We applied to a church school and were rejected on distance.
Since offers day, I have been astounded by the amount of other mums who have got places despite not meeting the strict criteria (attendance twice a month at any of 3 local churches for 2 years, as signed by the vicar, or by a church outside the local area for the same time as signed by the appropriate vicar).
At least 3 of these mums have told me verbally that while they are of that particular religion, they do not go to church regularly.
It appears that in reality, all you need is a vague interest in the church and a friendly vicar to sign off your lies.
Is this worth reporting to anyone ? Would the LA take an interest? I can not imagine the school itself wants to accuse their church or others or lying? Who could hold them to account ?
The schools admissions policy says it will investigate address fraud but mentions nothing else regarding fraud.
Any ideas ?
