A mother battling stage four cancer is campaigning for reforms to her local authority’s "unfair" school allocation policy and the national schools admissions code. Christine Lote, 41, from Bristol, was diagnosed in 2022 with chondrosarcoma, a rare bone cancer in her heel that does not respond to chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Her leg was amputated in June 2023, but a year later, the cancer had spread to her lungs and was deemed incurable.
