This is a very welcomed proposal and parents should most certainly vote Yes! As a mom of a boy in DGS it make absolute sense to open up more spaces for local boys. It’s irrational to think you can send your child from a far afield as north london to DGS and expect them to thrive- the daily journey alone takes it toll! Local kids deserve to get to walk to school or have a relatively short ride to school. DGS is so incredibly focused on not just academics but all the extra curricular activities that boys want to do and that simply won’t happen if the poor kid still has to travel miles to get back home after a full school day and rugby practice. Parents need to be more sensible when selection schools for their children - wellbeing is far more important than going to a prestigious school. I 100% support more spaces being allocated to those living closest to the school. It just makes sense!
