Hardly surprising - the KE foundation screwed-up big time last year for Five Ways when they couldn't make offers on the 1st March to all children in-catchment who reached the priority score.

I would be interested to know if all of the in-catchment children were eventually offered a place. I know a few children who live further away from us who missed out on a place in the first and second round of allocations (eventually were offered places) and where they live is by no means at the edge of the catchment area!

We live well within the boundary for KEFW but missed out on the initial allocation.

Interesting regarding five ways. If those in catchment are on waiting lists those out of catchment with high scores don't have any chances at all of getting in. I wonder if they will make amendments to catchment areas in the future

Presumably it's a low birthrate year for boys in the Camp Hill catchment area, if they have reduced their PAN by a whole form's worth?

No, the PAN for CHB is usually 120, but they added an extra class last year presumably to ease some of the problems caused by the priority score.
