Fraud. This could very well be the issue. & on that subject, I didn't get into The Charter School 5 years ago, when I only lived down the road. My best friend did & she lived is Camberwell. She had given a relatives address & my mum had to make an appeal... One can easily fake an address & because of this, I know some kids are not getting into the schools closer to them. As for the idiot parents who do live in the area & drive to school, this makes me very angry because I can name a long list of people who do this. Schools should make a point of this... dancet Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > "Or, is the allocation of school places in East > Dulwich subject to significant fraud? > > If the latter is the case, and I have no evidence > of it, can the council not do something to ensure > that places are allocated to people who live in > the area?
