Yes it does seem bizarre that these empty places will not be filled. I understand the Council's view that a certain standard must be achieved or else the academic level range will be more vast however I'm sure there are children who just missed the pass mark who are more than capable of keeping up at these schools.
What a shame - and also these schools will have less funding presumably so they miss out too. :cry:
