"It said you have not received a place. She was devastated... Her younger brother who is 10 was diagnosed with leukaemia last year... It has been an extremely emotional weekend." Parent Marisa whose daughter was denied her first choice school

Back to a story we brought you yesterday - this programme has spoken to MANY parents who are distressed, after their children were sent letters telling them they have NOT been admitted into their chosen secondary schools.

The principal of a school in Bangor took the unusual step of publishing a letter to parents blaming the lack of an Education Minister for not being able to offer more children places at his school. 

Matthew Pitts is head of Bangor Academy. He says he's had to turn away up to 40 families because his request for extra places is falling on deaf ears.
