Hi All,
My wife and I were separated at the time we applied for our daughters primary school place as she was suffering from severe depression. We were both going through a divorce and I somehow (stupidly) ordered our school preference in the wrong order. We today were offered a place at a school which should have been our third choice and since my application I have heard nothing but negative things about the school. I was in tears when I realised my mistake today.
My wife and I have since got back together and what should have been our second choice option is walking distance from our home, I called my LA and they have said you can't technically appeal as your second third choice was never offered due to the second choice being accepted. I have been in bits all day and sat in a car park with my head in my hands. I have no idea what to do as according to the Manchester City council website the school of our choice says 90 places and 90 places offered (155) applicants. I don't think I have a chance now of getting her in. Can anybody please help a father who has possibly made the biggest mistake of his life.
