Yes we knew this too, in fact when C&S visited our school late last year, they told us that they gave 5 places under and said they went to local children. It is very encouraging especially for those local kids that just missed out.
It's refreshing to know that schools are volunteering this information - my sister called the school last week, she said the lady she spoke to was very helpful and honest re expectations. The lady also said that one child joined year 8 this September following a successful 12+. Unfortunately I don't think this helps my sisters DD (for Sept 2018 anyway) - she was 3 marks under and lives outside of borough.
But it's good to know local kids still have a chance.
