A Nottinghamshire man has voiced his frustration as his 11-year-old step daughter was allocated a secondary school place two hours away from her home. Mike Chinery, of Ruddington, said the family was informed of the decision on Wednesday, March 1, while most other families were celebrating getting their first or second choices.
The family had listed West Bridgford High School and Rushcliffe Spencer as their top two preferences due to their close proximity to the school and the schools' good reputations. However, they were "frustrated" to find out that instead their daughter had been given a place at Hall Park Academy, which was 15 miles away in Eastwood.
Mike said: "At the moment she hasn't got a school place and we won't know now until next month. I'm being told by all the schools that every school is full up."
