Template:31 August

31st August 2005: Sally Webster discovered that she had burned several bridges when younger daughter Sophie tried to begin lessons at Weatherfield High after the summer break. A year previously, Sally had had a run-in with teacher Mr Lewis when he failed to recognise that he had a "gifted pupil" on his hands in the form of Rosie Webster and pushy mother Sally instead sent her prodigy to fee-paying Oakhill Grammar after telling Mr Lewis exactly what she thought of his "failings". Unable to afford two sets of school fees, Sophie had no option but to try and get Sophie into Weatherfield High but she neglected to enroll her daughter using the correct procedures. Mr Lewis was now the head and remembered his run in with Sally the year before. He told her there were no places available and Sophie would be placed at the bottom of the waiting list. Sally furiously protested that there would be a place within days as some of the other kids would just be hanging out at the precinct by the end of the week but the head was adamant: "the gates of Weatherfield High are closed."
