How is she supposed to get to the school? Is it practical on public transport? If it is assumed that she is driving I would phone the LEA and ask how they are to get there because she can't drive/has no car/needs the car for work in the opposite direction/any excuse she can think of.Ask if they are providing a taxi twice a day.
If it is practical from public transport then you will need a letter. Get numbers applying and numbers admitted from the LEA. Choose the most likely to get a place. Get the list of criteria and see what you fit.
Get on a waiting list.
