* Breaking News: RHS Admissions arrangement complaint upheld
Posted: Thu Jun 12, 2014 2:41 pm
I read on another website that the Schools Adjudicator has just upheld the complaint against Rugby High School and all 5 King Edward Grammar Schools in Birmigham. The complaint was against the use of Pupil Premium as a priority.
Many parents felt it was unfair, but did not want to say so in public.
All schools appear incompetent as their funding arrangements did not allow priority to PP children. Some "clever cloggs" realised they messed up. All school subsequently applied to the Education Funding Agency to alter their funding arrangements and were approved. But, it was too late.
It seems this was won on a technicality and the actual issue was not adjudicated The schools may fight on and win the battle. Time will tell.
Its seems the issue will be decided with LSS as they had the provision in place (it is a VA school not academy - subject to different rules). There will be a decision shortly.
