I wonder if anyone can give me some advice pls.My youngest son has been refused a place at his local secondary school following an appeal.He was initially refused a place at the time of application.The reasoning was very vague but it appears the school are saying they are oversubscribed.I can accept this but at the appeal we stressed that his elder brother attends the school and i don't want them to go to different schools as this would mean a difference of several miles in opposite directions.The problem is my eldest is in temporary foster care under section 20(voluntary)for respite and with help and support he should return home soon.The school stated that they are not considered siblings as they do not share the same address.This is true but i feel it is unfair for them to be treated as if they are not brothers.Can the school prejudice against them like this?
