Evening Standard - Schools selection lottery

Peter Dominiczak · Post by **Peter Dominiczak** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 6:57 pm

My name is Peter Dominiczak and I'm a journalist with the Evening Standard.

We are looking for any parents in London who have children waiting to see which secondary school they have been admitted to next week.
There is concern amongst parents that many children will not get into their first-choice schools this year and we would like to hear from you.

We would also like to talk to anybody who has experienced the "offers lottery" in the last two years and is willing to talk about how not getting your first-choice school has affected you and your child.

You can contact me at peter.dominiczak@standard.co.uk or call me on 07946 422 503.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Just a note on behalf of the Mods to say that permission for Dominic to post here was given by Forum Admin.

I hope that you get some good responses to your request Dominic. Perhaps you would like to let us know when the article is published, for everyone's information?

At that point you might also like to take out your mobile number and email address from the above post (or I can do that for you) - just to be on the safe side.
