I feel very sorry for those of you who have been given schools so far away, even after placing 6 choices. I'd always assumed people that happened to were those who chanced their luck putting the best schools down that they lived nowhere near, but that doesn't sound like the case.

Not that its any consolation on the distance, but I think Haseltine as a school is turning around for the better. It is now part of a federation with Fairlawn and Kilmorie, under the governance of an executive head who covers all three (or will do when the replacement is recruited since Mr Bosher left at Easter).
