Dear parent/guadian of Gary Nelson-Bennett,

Too many applicants applied for place in "South Alexton School" and allocations had to be made according to the school admission criterions. "South Alexton School" prioritizes applications according to the following criterions "Children subject to a child protection plan", "Children who have a sibling already on roll", "Medical needs", "Children attending a feeder school" and "Children who live closest to the school".

Gary Nelson-Bennett ranked at 332 based on Children who live closest to the school. Informations on how places were offered can be found in following table

1	"Children subject to a child protection plan"	3
2	"Children who have a sibling already on roll"	35
3	"Medical needs"	10
4	"Children attending a feeder school"	175
5	"Children who live closest to the school"	210

Unfortunately the number of the applicants satisfying the same criterion of a high priority is too many that the admission of children and the cut off were at 225. Any further admission to this year group will prejudice the provision of efficient education and the efficient use of resources.

Gary Nelson-Bennett been automatically added to waiting list for "South Alexton School" and School will will notify you by 15 March 2021 if a place becomes available In the meantime you can accept the school place in "Rossburgh School" that you been offered to secure place in September if a place in the guardian's first preference does not become available.
