It would take him nearly two hours to get there and back on public transport
A Ruddington mum says she feels "let down" by Nottinghamshire's school offers system after her son was allocated a place in Hucknall. Nottinghamshire Live has been reporting on concerns raised about some children facing bus journeys of almost two hours to get to school from September due to the places they have been offered.
Do you think the Government is doing enough to help with the cost of living? Let us know in our poll here. "I would also struggle to take him as well though because I'm a single parent, trying to juggle two children and work, and in rush hour it could be nearly two hours there and back from the school." Alex also said Rayan's ADHD diagnosis made her worried about how he would cope "emotionally and psychologically" with going to school so far from home.
Speaking about the wider schooling demand in Rushcliffe this year, Peter McConnochie, Nottinghamshire County Council's Service Director for Education, Learning and Inclusion, said: "This year, the vast majority of children in Nottinghamshire have been allocated a place at their preferred school. In Rushcliffe, 91 percent of families were offered their top preference school, and 97 percent received one of their preferences.
There have been calls for a temporary solution for this year's families whilst that extension takes place, something the county council has not specifically commented on. In terms of Rayan Perry's case, one of the difficulties was that his current primary is a feeder for The Nottingham Emmanuel School, but he does not live in the catchment area for it.
"This does shine a light on the importance for families of reviewing the guidance provided very carefully. It cannot be stressed strongly enough that by listing only one or two preferences, parents substantially reduce the chances of getting their child into one of their preferred schools.
