Hi MrsMac

Thank you for your reply.

I visited the school morning, and had a quick talk with the principal too. He said that they won't know what their places for out of area applications until next year. My reasons are mainly for the fact that as a school they have lots of extra curricular activities and a healthy attitude to education and learning, it is not limited to just academics.

Another school that is in my area (I'm not in the catchment for it though) outright refused to take him at all.
