Hi there, can anyone help with a query about secondary school places. We have moved into a new area with DS aged 14. She was offered a place at a school we didn't like (and she didn't either), and we have turned it down. Now we are on the waiting list for the school we really like, but has no spaces. As DS is on the autistic spectrum, and we are going through the process of statementing, can we use this is any way to help her get to the school we want? If she was a robust child I wouldn't make a fuss but her anxiety levels and educational needs are such that I think she will only make good progress at this particular school. As she will start GCSEs in Sept, I'm so worried that if she gets off on the wrong foot her chances will be scuppered.
My question is: can we appeal against not being offered a place at our preferred school, and what might make the appeal sucessful?
Thanks
