Petition School and nursery should be allocated on the basis of child's locality to the school
More details
I believe that school and nursery places should be allocated on the basis of how local the child’s home is to the school instead of the current system where it is based on what month the child is born in and whether or not their parents are on state benefits.
I believe this is discriminatory to those children who are born in months of May and June as well as those who have working parents who are not on benefits.
I would like the selection criteria changed so that children are selected for school and nursery places on the basis of how local they live to the school firstly, and then other criteria ie whether they come from a disadvantaged background, should be taken into account
