Petition Bring back sibling enrolment at schools.
The government need to rethink the enrolment of children into schools. They have lost a common sense approach and as of this year are forcing parents to accept their ridiculous decisions on school placements.
More details
As of now if you have at least one child in a primary school and you apply for the September start for a younger sibling, the government can now ignore common sense and force you to be at 2 different schools at exactly the same time.
They need to bring get back the old "sibling" question into the application for a school place so parents are not put through so much mental stress facing the prospect of having to be on opposite sides of a town at the same time.
