Ruddington family 'let down' after 10-year-old offered school place in Hucknall

A Ruddington mum says she feels "let down" by Nottinghamshire's school offers system after her son was allocated a place in Hucknall. Nottinghamshire Live has been reporting on concerns raised about some children facing bus journeys of almost two hours to get to school from September due to the places they have been offered.

One Ruddington parent recently shared that his step daughter had been offered a school place in Eastwood, a journey which he predicted would take around two hours on public transport. One councillor then said around 12 Rushcliffe families had been given school places in Eastwood.

Alex Perry, 40, now says her son has also been offered a school place far from home. Rayan Perry, 10, currently attends primary school in Wilford Village and had been hoping to attend the Rushcliffe Spencer Academy, in West Bridgford, from September.
