EVERY CHILD MATTERS or DO THEY?
‘Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions you will make for your child’.
Parents up and down the country are being denied school places at all three of their chosen schools… due to the government’s admissions criteria i.e. straight line distance and the new legislation for the lottery system.
The UK’s schools are oversubscribed, at bursting point and there are not enough catchment school places for our children.
The environment is effected as more parents are being forced into their cars, simply because there are not enough catchment school places within walking distance.
The Housing Market report (HMR) says the 2006 output of 160,000 new homes was about 60,000 short. The UK housing market is experiencing rapid growth yet the infrastructure does not appear to support the growth.
We the undersigned call on the UK Government to:
1. Provide our Children with enough Schools in their catchment area.
2. A Government guarantee that every child is offered a place at one of their three chosen schools.
3. A Government policy to expand our existing schools and or build new ones to provide more catchment school places in line with Housing growth.
