          At 2B you are already getting priority as in you are competing against a smaller pool of parents (ie. PV, GRL, etc). Imagine at 2C, you are against the whole estate within 2km of school, which is worst.


          This would be true if all 2Bs were allocated ahead of 2C, but where balloting is required the available spaces are split evenly between 2B and 2C and if you miss out at 2B as a 1-2 or 2km+ PV, you are at the back of the queue again, despite showing 40 - 80 hours of commitment to the school. Not exactly fair, but it's also publicly available info when you sign up.

          So... don't allow PVs to enrol who don't stand a good chance in 2B.

              My friend went to register her son this morning and she was told that balloting is highly likely for those within 1km. One of the staff told her 41, another 37 within 1km. In any case, it still exceeded the no. of places.
