Louise Wilby from Hockley made the decision back in August to help a family fleeing the war in Ukraine. After facing problems with visas, Natalia and her young daughter arrived in the UK at the end of September. But since their arrival, Louise hasn't received any funding from the council and is now facing a battle to get Natalia's five-year-old daughter into a school, despite living right beside one. A spokesperson for Academies Enterprise Trust, which runs Hockley Primary School, said: “We recognise how difficult this situation is for Natalia and her daughter Amelia and want to try and find a way through this. There are legal limits on how many children you can have in primary classes and this is why we can’t provide a place in Hockley primary. We’re looking into whether there are any alternatives though so that Natalia’s daughter can take up a place in a local school.”
