School admissions rules have prioritised children living in ground-floor flats over those living in higher levels as the distance from the school is measured both horizontally and vertically. This means that children living within the same tower block of flats may not have an equal chance to get into the same school.
Some councils are using GPS satellites to calculate how far families live from their chosen schools- this can be worked out to within 4 or more decimal places of a mile.
This is causing a great deal of stress and upset for parents aiming to get their child a place in particular schools.
What do you think about this admissions rule?
