Twins sent to different primary schools a mile apart as council refuses to consider their 'special bond'

They have been side-by-side since before birth, and have so far done everything together. But on their first day at school, Connor and Brad Terry might have to go it alone, after authorities ordered the three-year-old twins to attend different primaries.

Connor was given the last remaining place at their mother Samantha's first choice of school, and his brother has to go to a school one mile away.



Miss Terry, 40, is battling to overturn the decision she fears will 'devastate' the small boys. Born 24 minutes apart, Connor and Brad are virtually inseparable. Their mother said: 'I was on hot coals waiting to hear where the boys would be placed in their first schools.

'I wouldn't mind not getting my first choice - but to read they would go to completely different schools - I just thought there was some mistake.'
