Rejected petition Keep London Borough of Sutton School Places for the Residents of the Borough.

I'm stage of applying for secondary schools for my 10 year old, due to start high school next September. In the London Borough of Sutton, many schools are over subscribed. Today at the eligibility test I heard people from Slough, East Grinstead and even abroad were there to sit to secure a place.

More details

London Borugh of Sutton has 14 high schools, 5 are grammer schools & 1 taking 60 pupils on merit of eligibility test.
2 are also Church Schools.
Spaces should be made/allocated in Grammar schools for Children residing in the London Borough Of Sutton rather than non residents on academic basis
The independent (Garner 2013), shows people moved, brought 2nd homes, use relatives addresses, attend church to secure a school place, many tutored. There are enough hurdles for Sutton parents already.
