Until now, they have had only one catchment school, which is DCGS. When there was too much pressure on places at DCGS, RGS was able to mop up the surplus, but not this year - it also didn't go beyond catchment. Likewise, CGS couldn't allocate places because their distance just didn't extend far enough. (It went into Herts, but didn't extend far enough within the county to accommodate the CSP boys - it's about 7 miles from CGS to CSP, and CGS only allocated to 5.5 miles outside catchment.)
Next door, in the Denham/Iver area, where there has also historically been a huge problem with boys' places, they have the choice of 4 catchment schools. It's an overdue and very positive change.
It won't impact on girls' places, because CSP has both BHS and DCHS as catchment, and neither are oversubscribed within catchment.
It will, likely as not, reduce the out-area allocation distance for Chesham yet further - perhaps by a mile or so?
