parents going on to work

They're in cars because they're legging it work asap after drop-off time. At least that's what you would hope.

Because as well as WOHP, there are also palces allocated to children in care / SEN / siblings a bit further out?

In previous years maybe the intake included children who lived a lot further away?

can understand the work thing but surely not all parents drive to work in london (zone 2)?

but some good points!

maybe they have moved since the kids got into the school? happens a lot round here - people get into the primary school they want and then move to be in grammar school catchment.

Agree with gladders. Once the children are in school, it doesn't matter where the parents llive.
