Dear Sir

My daughter Clare is due to start secondary school in
September. We put down Cheyney High School as our
first choice as it is the nearest one to our home but we
were told the school was over-subscribed and she would
have to go to Littlewick Manor which is ten miles away.
It is not even on our bus route.

I am writing to appeal to you to act on Clare’s behalf
to enable her to be given a place at our nearby
comprehensive school.

Yours faithfully

David Watts
