Kent County Council has opened up 60 more spaces but some families are still facing a long journey.

Sheppey children were given secondary school places as far as Maidstone and Faversham.

Parents will soon find out which schools their children will be attending from September this year.

The trust said the move is in the school's best interests but a protest was held on Wednesday.

It is the first study to look at school phone rules, alongside measures of pupil health and education.

The system is changing after the death of head Ruth Perry highlighted the pressure of inspections.

The council said it will increase choice, but campaigners say some people will have longer journeys.
