wonderingmum, that is very sad news.
I have heard today of a couple of people who didn't get a grammar school at all. It's all very hard. This should be a time of celebration for the kids who have passed but sadly not.
So could you tell me please if you or anyone else knows the cut-off, distance-wise, for the Langton Girls and the Langton Boys?
Many thanks

I notice that the oversubscription criteria for the Langton are
1. Children in care
2. Siblings
3. Health/ social reasons (compelling)
4. Residence within the same scheme of education as the school
before
5. Distance
so it is entirely plausible that the Faversham girl has got a place on any of 1-3
(or even 4 - I can't find any details of how the "scheme of education is defined, except that in the oversubsciption criteria document here http://www.kenttrustweb.org.uk/children ... 09_sec.cfm
Faversham is included in the "Canterbury" RELEVANT STATUTORY CONSULTATION AREA)
In case you're wondering why I've escaped from Solihull to look at this, I went to the Langton myself (ahem) 30 plus years ago - fascinated to see from the website that the school is to move to a new site NEAR THE BOYS!!!
