Furious mums are challenging a council’s decision to refuse their children places at a nearby school. EXC via FotheringhamHT Full story:
Debbie Douglas says she is “devastated” her son Eden, four, will not be able to join his sister Aine, five, at Spittal Primary – just over Glasgow’s border with South Lanarkshire in Rutherglen - when the new term starts in August.
“It’s absolutely ridiculous when these kids already have siblings at the school – especially because we have been told they’re just not willing to put on another teacher even though there is a demand in the area. Last year there were two primary one classes and one composite primary one/primary two class. This year, there is just one class for primary ones so it’s a huge reduction.”Debbie added: “There’s going to be a hearing now because we have appealed the decision. It’s so stressful.
“I don’t have a support network here – my dad died a few years ago, my mum lives in Greece, and I have no siblings, so there’s no-one who can help me. I’m at my wits’ end. I’m all my kids have got, and they deserve a mum who’s doing her best for them.”Nicole Morgan said: “Alfie wants to go to the school all his friends are going to. This is all down to budget cuts, it’s ridiculous.
