Hi, we are roughly 430m away from Rosendale School and thought this was a safe bet. But now not so sure as we do not know anyone from further away who got in just based on distance rather than siblings.Could there be any issues getting into the school because of preference to siblings? It's all a bit of a nightmare....

Thanks a lot! xx

You should be alright getting into Rosendale School. The school has a priority list (like all the other school) - kids in care then siblings then distance. I know lots of people further than 430m who got into the school last year. They have 3 classes of 30 so fairly big intake. You would probably struggle to get into the nursery because they only have 30 kids and they have the same priority rules. Good luck with it!

The last admission by distance last year was 566 metres.


There were 525 applicants fr the 90 places. 1 went to a looked after child, 40 went to siblings, and the other 49 on distance.


All the info you need is in this brochure :

Dunraven becoming an 'all through school' and are opening a Reception class for admittance in Sept 2013. This might take pressure off the Rosendale catchment and attract parents from the Croxted Rd area, or you might be able to apply if you would be in the Dunrave catchment. I haven't seen any publicity about applying to Dunraven Reception class so it might be undersubscribed for 'distance' applications. Dunraven is reputed to be a very excellent school. I don't know if being in the primary school there will eventually give an automatic option of a place in the secondary. http://www.dunraven.org.uk/page/?title=All-Through+School&pid=203

    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
