Dear parent/guadian of Patricia Henderson,

Too many applicants applied for place in "Wardside School" and allocations had to be made according to the school admission criterions. "Wardside School" prioritizes applications according to the following criterions "Children in public care", "Children subject to a child protection plan", "Children who have a sibling already on roll", "Art aptitude test", "Medical needs", "Children who live within the catchment area" and "Children who live closest to the school".

Patricia Henderson ranked at 395 based on Children who live closest to the school. Informations on how places were offered can be found in following table

1	"Children in public care"	10
2	"Children subject to a child protection plan"	3
3	"Children who have a sibling already on roll"	33
4	"Art aptitude test"	67
5	"Medical needs"	10
6	"Children who live within the catchment area"	169
7	"Children who live closest to the school"	203

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 295. Any further admission to this year group will prejudice the provision of efficient education and the efficient use of resources.

A place been allocated for Patricia Henderson at "West Georgemouth School" your 2 preference school starting September.
