Hi all,

Can I request others to lodge a complaint - even over email to Slough LEA please?

You can mail them at edhelp@slough.gov.uk.

cheers,

I have sent Slough Council a letter asking them to investigate this whole thing. Hopefully we will get good support here.

I got a response from Slough Concil to the effect that there will not be any 'first preference first' type of arrangements.

But hey, I do not know if this is communicated to Schools are or they just agreeing to the policy in principle.

Do you think an email from a windsor based parent of a child already at a Slough GS would be of any help?

Chad,

Surely.

I am not from Slough either.

But I must thank you as you inspired me to action.
Your input on the policy gave me the backing I needed before writing to the Slough LEA.

Thanks once again Chad.

Herschel only re-iterated verbally - yes they called me - what they had been saying i.e they would not consider pupils who chose langley above them but not very enthusiastic to confirm it over email.

I lodged one more email complaint to them today.

Lets see what happens.

cheers,
Epp.
