12+ Late Transfer

Post by Mal »

Fortunately my son passed the 12+ but yesterday we received a rather dismissive letter from BCC telling us that he was not a high enough priority under the schools admissions rules. Despite giving them the choice of 6 schools they did not even advise us as to why he had not been offered a place at any of them. No information has been given to us about where he is on the waiting list for each of the 6 preferred schools but strangely they have also asked us for new preferences.
We are at a considerable disadvantage as our ONLY catchment area school is Dr Challoners, probably the most popular grammar in Bucks!
The whole system is unfair, discriminatory, lacks transparency and is open to abuse. We are surprised that BCC have not been called to account in the Courts because of the above.
There is an urgent need for BCC to either build more grammars or enlarge the existing to cope with the increase in population plus ALL out of county applications should be rejected.
