Most of the homes around charter are well over a million and those families would have moved there with the school very much in mind. They have used their resources to give their child the best start. A lottery for each individual child would be fairer but would probably not please the people who started this post as they sound like they live near a desirable school but not quite near enough for comfort. It would also be incredibly stressful for everybody. I know some families who have moved for schools over the the last couple of years and they have tended to be families in black holes or those with a child with significant SEN who just don't trust the system to give a monkeys about their child. The reality is that we are living under a Tory government which means every man for themselves, don't think that will change anytime soon.
