We welcome chief schools adjudicator Ian Craig's report endorsing this council's use of random allocation as a fair way to deal with oversubscribed school places ( Watchdog's report , 3 November). Our previous system of using home-to-school distance as the tie-breaker was very unpopular because the geographical spread of our secondary schools meant parents in whole areas of the city were unable...
