New photo The devious methods parents use to get their first choice school

Pushy parents are claiming their children have hay fever or conjunctivitis to get them into the best state schools, it was reported last night.

The ‘special consideration’ requests even include a need to go to school with friends or be close to grandparents.

But social mobility charities warn that claiming dubious medical or social needs is ‘the latest tactic by tiger-like parents who’ll do anything to secure that coveted school place’.

Parents are anxious to get their children into schools which offer greater opportunities 

This academic year, parents submitted 4,600 applications to schools in 60 local authorities using the special considerations criteria. These applications have increased by 58 per cent since 2014, The Times reported.

On average, 10 per cent of applications for exceptional medical or social needs were granted. Approved requests included for sufferers of cystic fibrosis and spina bifida, victims of domestic violence and those whose parents had died.

But unsuccessful applications included reasons such as enjoying a particular sport, a desire to attend the same school as close friends and closeness to a parent’s work location.

Lee Elliot Major of the Sutton Trust, Britain’s first professor of social mobility, said: ‘It’s the sharp-elbowed middle-classes who game the system.’

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
