Did other Lewes parents get the primary school that they wanted for their children? I've spoken to a couple of parents who didn't get their first choice but we appear to have been lucky.

arrgh! Didn't get any of our choices and have been allocated Pells. Had felt OK with the theoretical possibility of getting place there - thought that failing school with lots of subsequent input would probably be doing pretty well by now... then I read their Ofsted report. Oh no! What are people's thoughts on Pells?

Pells seems to have fallen into a bit of a downward spiral. As with many schools, it has it's share of challenging kids. Unfortunately it's developed a negative reputation (in special measures etc) and many of the local parents who take an interest in their kids education have taken them to other schools - leaving a high number of 'problem' children in the school. Hopefully the pressure on school places this year will mean that Pells gets a better mix of children and, now that they are out of special measures, they will build back up into a stronger school.
