I am happy to follow up on the case that the Deputy raised in terms of two schools in an area being full and children trying to access a third school outside of their area. It is an issue that has been raised with me by a number of Deputies. We are very clear that if the two schools within the immediate vicinity are full and if the students have applied to both and been told they are full, then they are eligible to go to the third school. They must receive confirmation from the two schools that they are full but I can talk to the Deputy about this later.
