In our local authority, they regularly clear all waiting on lists, and send a letter saying that your child will only be put back on the waiting list if you fill another paper form.
This paper form is not sent to parents with the letter, neither is it available on the location specified on the website.
Is this usual practice? They claim this is as a lot of people on the waiting lists no longer wish to be, but why make the process so onerous? The application form also asks for proof of address (again!!) And a current head teacher's signature. Written requests to stay on the waiting list are not acknowledged.
