The article on school sizes mentions Longhill School will be reducing its intake because funding for a £1 million building programme is unavailable (Argus, June 29).

I smell a rat here.

Reducing the intake at Longhill by not funding the building programme means some 30 surplus children can then help make up the numbers at the East Brighton College of Media Arts, a school some parents of Whitehawk don't want their children to attend.
