Is this standard admissions policy for most mainstream academies these days? Can it be challenged? It doesn't affect me directly but it feels like a slippery slope and if I'm honest I feel a bit disappointed that a school I have always held in such high regard is choosing to take this stance.
There is an opportunity to attend a consultation to discuss proposed changes to admissions criteria in January and I would like to go but am hoping someone can help me articulate my feelings on this so I can put forward my objections. I guess my underlying feeling is that this stance suggests children like my ds aren't wanted and are a drain on resources despite the fact that the support he has received so far has been fantastic.
