An awful situation
Nottinghamshire's school offers system has been branded "unacceptable" as a councillor says she has heard of 12 children allocated places two hours away. Families across the country have recently been finding out if their child was successful in getting a place at their preferred secondary school from September.
Nottinghamshire County Council did not comment on Councillor Gowland's specific call for a temporary solution for this year's families. But the authority said it was unable to "compel" schools to accommodate additional demand and that it monitors pupil projections across all areas of the county. "She would be really upset if she thought she was having to go as far as Eastwood. It's such a shame because she's a really promising student as well."
