“We have listened very carefully to the many strong points made during the consultation, which we were determined should be a genuine one,” said JCoSS headteacher Patrick Moriarty.
“We believe the agreed policy allows JCoSS to remain true to its aims and intentions while honouring our historical relationships with feeder schools.
“Given the current competition for places and uncertainty surrounding possible new schools, we particularly understand the anxiety of families and take seriously our responsibility to the community to be sensitive to these issues.”
Mr Moriarty added that, while it is “impossible to please everyone”, he hoped parents recognised “our efforts to be fair and consultative”.
Last week, Yavneh College, in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, decided to drop its feeder school system, after carrying out its own consultation amid anger from parents at the proposed change.
