Starting at primary school can be a stressful time for parents especially with allocation rules that can be difficult to understand. Rob knows of some parents initially allocated schools they did not want because they made the wrong choices. Rob has spoken to the allocations unit at County Council and officers have agreed to meet small groups, such as pre-school/nursery groups to help parents to make the right choices. The council officers will be contacting Primary Heads and pre-school groups to try and arrange some initial sessions. If they prove they are of value they may be rolled out more extensively.
