That's not Greenwich: catchment areas are still allowed (Rotherham Judgement), as long as they're based on distance, travel time or the like, not local authority boundaries. If children from 60 miles away are being admitted, it's because the school decided not to restrict admission to a local area. What Greenwich does forbid is refusing children two miles away but across a county border while admitting children on the opposite side of the county.handel wrote:I used to teach in a leading GS and I can tell you how it has changed - of a Year 7 class of 25, 10 would come from the local primary, 10 from other primaries in the area, and 5 from private schools. Now, since the criminal Greenwich Judgment (which discriminates against kids from the local area and allows pupils from 60 miles away to attend) it is totally different - of a class of 25, 3 will come from the local primary, 10 from primaries all over the place and the rest from private schools.
