An 11-year-old boy is facing a two hour daily round-trip to get to classes after failing to get a place at any secondary school in his home town. Bailey Wilson has been kept at home since September waiting for a space to come available at the schools near his home so that he can join his friends. He has now been homeschooled for three months since being rejected by three different secondaries in Kettering, Northants. Instead, he was offered a Year 7 place at a school in Rothwell, Northants., - which is more than seven miles away and a round-trip of two hours and 12 minutes. Mum Freya Sturdy, 34, says she has been left heartbroken by the decision after Bailey told her all he wants for Christmas is to be able to go to school. North Northamptonshire Council has been asked for a comment.
