Quite right, but with a one-form entry school like Horniman, that has recently had a bulge year class, there was some concern that even those of us with kids at the school could possibly lose out. We we're worried about our daughter's sibling place as our son got in from the waiting list a couple of years back as we we're right on the edge of the 'catchment' area.

Without wanting to scare-monger, I'd be more concerned if I was hoping for a sibling place (or any place for that matter) at Horniman in the next 2 years as that is when any affect from the bulge class is more likely to be felt.

p.s. off the top of my head I reckon I can think of over 50% of September's reception year at Horniman who will be siblings of existing pupils.
