An update.... I just received a letter (via email but beng sent out later today) from Hania Ryans apologising for any distress caused. She is going to honour the time slots that we have already chosen for September 2014. She is also going to meet with the parents of children starting Septmeber 2015 to open up discussions.
She has quite clearly listened to parents and taken everything on board. I take it back about it being underhand, I think she just went about it all the wrong way in the first instance. A mistake but she has dealt with the the situation promptly and accordingly. She has my respect for that.
