Hi, how is the distance measured between school and home? Our distance, as the crow flies, is 1.3 I think but we still didn't get Sydenham and are in the 50s on the waiting list. We got our sixth choice (which I don't want her to go to). We're also on the waiting list for Kingsdale, 32, in band 3. Shall I just give up or is there still hope ? I don't think the waiting lists move that far or do they? Any previous experiences to reassure me very welcome. Thanks.
