Getty imagesThe comedian Romesh Ranganathan has attacked his local council after his young son was not offered any of his preferred options in his placement of high school.
Mr. Ranganathan said he had sent an email to the West Sussex County Council six times after his son put his leg in a school “on the other side of the city”, and not in the same school as his older brother.
He said he had not recovered any response and his local parliamentarian, who agreed to investigate, if the leg tolerates the counter “cannot do anything about it.”
A Board spokesman said: “We do not comment on individual matters, but we recognize disappointment when students cannot be placed in their first option.”
Ranganathan, who organizes his own league and a Saturday morning program at BBC Radio 2, said he was particularly angry since his eldest son was already in school that the family had selected the son’s first option.
Taking to social networks, he said he had sent an email to the Council six times, but had no answer, only although other parents had recovered the answers.
‘More than disappointing’
When describing what happened after he was the case of the family for his deputy, Mr. Ranganathan said: “I hope two weeks, they come and say that West Sussex has sought it. Satisfactory.”
“I bet they have done so. Then he told me:” I am sure it is disappointing “is more than disappointing. It is not football, it is the placement of my son’s school.”
He said the family would now have to go to the waiting list for an alternative place of the school and see what happened.
The Board spokesman said: “We will always work with families to ensure that an adequate school location can be found.”
On Wednesday, the Council said that 91.1% had sacrificed Bone their first school of preference and 98.6% of all applicants were offered a place in one of their three preferences.
