Wondered if anyone could offer advice- we didn't get offered any of our three choices for DS and instead offered our catchment school. The reason I didn't apply for this in the first place is I work in the criminal justice system and am professionally involved with parents of children who attend this school. This would be a real safeguarding issue for DS. I'm going to appeal on these grounds. We are 2nd on waiting list on 1st and 2nd choices so hopeful of that but can't risk not appealing. It would be a infant class size appeal as up to their 30 pupils. There has not been any admissions criteria that has not been incorrectly followed so would just be won if I can argue that DS would be prejudiced more than the school. What are my chances are winning appeal do you think and should
I also mention social reasons such as my son is shy and he won't know anyone at the allocated school but will do at our 1st and 2nd choice?
These were not unreasonable schools to put as choices and literally missed out on one by a matter of yards......
