Well done, Neil Hunter, for your decision to offer a pupil a place at your school on the basis that to change the decision would be unsettling for her (The Argus, November 13).
The decision seems to have been made with the interests of the pupil as a priority. The fact that she is the daughter of a member of staff is irrelevant.
When the girl had attended an induction day at Blatchington Mill, Brighton and Hove School Admissions issued an injunction.
Whose interests were best served then? Clearly, those of Brighton and Hove, which had to "enforce its admissions rules. The situation has been resolved to its satisfaction."
How many other parents would want to question Brighton and Hove about their school's admissions policy, which, in my experience, needs reviewing?
I understand the Local Education Authority has to take an overview but does Brighton and Hove ever consider what is best for the child?
Perhaps its should look at the admissions policy of other authorities and live up to its new slogan, "Children, families and schools".
