Did your child get offered the secondary school that you wanted? Today is Offer Day for all senior schools in the UK. Is Hitchin, like all other towns, trying to cope with over subscribed schools?

The news has just reported that 1 in 6 children across the UK do not get offered their first choice of school. Everybody has the right of appeal, but in order for the decision to be overturned you need a exceptionally strong case. (I have personall experience of this as I chose to follow the appeal process over the choice of schools for my daughter - which I managed to win.)
