Further to the discussion on whether sibling guaranteed places should follow, I was wondering how people had got on with their allocations.

It appears the catchment for Dalmain has shrunk considerably this year, I think Stillness has also and I know of people who would have got into one of either based on the last 3-4 years but missed out this year. Is this the same borough wide?

If so I wonder if it is the result of bulge classes, changing demographic or something else?

Hopefully those on waiting lists will get 'lucky' once people have confirmed places etc.
