Dear parent/guadian of Steven Harris,

Too many applicants applied for place in "Johnstonshire School" and allocations had to be made according to the school admission criterions. "Johnstonshire 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", "Children of staff" and "Children who live closest to the school".

Steven Harris ranked at 889 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"	36
2	"Children subject to a child protection plan"	12
3	"Children who have a sibling already on roll"	121
4	"Children of staff"	60
5	"Children who live closest to the school"	726

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 230. 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 Steven Harris at "Port Derekton School" the guardian's 2 preference school starting September.
