Cross county movement

I have just seen that Gloucestershire CC allocated 482 out of 7326 places to out of county pupils, I wondered if this is particular to counties with GSs or happens across all county boundaries.

Also how many of these children are likely to be coming for GS places and is it likely that as many Gloucestershire pupils are electing to go to schools out of county.

Please understand I am not against pupils choosing out of county schools just curious.

I should imagine that a fair few of them are actually Chepstow people wanting places at Wydean. So actually cross country as well as cross county

. I am surprised it is that low considering that particular school's location.

The same happens with Wiltshire and the Cirencester comprehensives....
