I put this question as a mother who still hopes my 4-year-old son can be accepted into our first-choice school. In Sept, we missed the place and the child is now number 7 in the waiting list.
I always thought simply that I should contact the council sometimes to ask about the waiting list.
However, now at least two of my friends claim that you have to contact the school itself to show how 'desperate' you are. The school will always say No to you first, that they do not have any power, and that you must contact the council. But apparently the reality is they will listen to your desperate voice and somehow you will get lucky.
Is it true? If it is true, then what exactly you should tell the school, knowing that the person on the phone will say No to you at first?
Thank you very much.
