DD has been on waiting list for school for over 2 years...she's in year 2 now. The school was in charge of their own list but this got handed over to local authority last year. At that time I got in touch and made sure they had record of us...they assured me they did and a lady phoned me back to check we were in the same circumstances and assured me we were now top of the list.
I just ccalled council now and they said DD was not on any list...they HAD no list and did not know what I was talking about.
WHen the council took control of lists they had asked me to do an "in year application form" for the place which I did. They are now saying that is the first they knew of it all...I spoke to the school who say the council is crap and have probably lost the list.
The woman in the admissions office has asked me to email her a request to go on the list and that DD will still be top of the list as at the moment there is no list at all! ..so what happened to all the others on the bloody list then? I expect they're just thinking they're safe on the non-existant list and won't know anything until they call and check as I just did!
Have sent the email and wondered when I should call the cow unhelpful woman I spoke to to check she has it and that DD IS now on the new list?? SHould I hassle her again today? Or will she hate me and dump me?
I just phoned back and spoke to another woman who advised me to fill in ANOTHER in year application to apply for a place in September (yr 3)
ANY help or advice wil be so gratefully recieved!
