Wandsworth council are removing sibling priority from Sept 2016 for anyone who moves 800m from the school their first child went to.


Sounds absolute fair and is needed across London and especially in Forest Hill! Half the places in Forest Hill are taken by siblings. I wonder how many of those don't live close to the school anymore or are just people renting flats within proximity to the school to get the first child in.


Disclaimer - I don't have kids. But overheard some guy on the Overground who lives in Forest Hill who has to catch a bus towards Catford to take his kid to school which is a nightmare, even though he only lives 500m from one of the ones in Forest Hill.


What does everyone else think? I might write a letter to the council to ask them to look in to a policy like this.
