Hello all. My son did not get any of his 6 secondary school choices and I am mortified. The council assigned us Ark Globe Academy yet the school is far away and we do not know lots about it.


Could anyone give any advise on what I could do or tell me about their experiences with the school or opinions. I understand it is part of the ARK group as well?

Hi - I'm afraid I don't know anything about that school, but just wanted to say that you can add him to wait lists of other schools that are closer if you didn't include them in your original 6 schools. I believe that you contact the schools directly and ask to be added to their wait lists (hopefully someone who's done that can give you clear advice).


There is usually movement on waiting lists between now and September and whilst no one can confirm whether spaces at your preferred schools will become available, I understand that by adding yourself to additional wait lists (eg if you'd prefer Deptford Green or somewhere like that but didn't add it originally for example) this wouldn't mean that you'd be moved off the other wait lists you were placed on for your preferred schools.


You could also call up your preferred schools and find out where you are on their wait list to understand the likelihood of a place.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
