My friend lives in the next county to me. Her children got into our school as she is catholic. They were outside the catchment area but got lucky and got a place for both her girls.
She applied to her county for 3 schools for secondary school. These were all miles away from where she lives. Her county allocated her a school over 8 miles away as it was the only one with places left. She is distraught that she didn't get her choices as she wants her daughter to be with her friends.
Her county has now said she can appeal to any school she wants to. I thought you could go on any waiting list but only appeal to ones you didn't get.
She has been preparing 6 appeals but I think she is wasting her time.
She is in such a state I don't want to upset her but feel I should tell her she has been given the wrong information.
She has turned down this offer 8 miles away and now has no place. There are schools here with places but she won't consider them.

Can you appeal to a school which you didn't apply for?
