Hi, i just wanted to let all you parents out there having problems with school admissions it is worth investigating! I was informed in march that my daughter had not recieved a place at our 1st choice school - where she currently attends nursery class. (one of only 4 children out of 54 currently attending to be refused) I decided to accept the place offered at another school but also to appeal. I rang the education office every week and was never given a straight answer, the appeal was cancelled twice, they would never tell me where she was on the waiting lists and to top it off 3 weeks ago i contacted the 'offered' school only to be told they had no details for my dd and the reception class was full :@ as i'm sure you can imagine i was not happy! I was stressing out over the appeal and worrying about where she would be going in sept.
Well, can you imagine my shock when i again phoned last week to be told all appeals had been cancelled - i was about to seriously hit the roof when the lady explained my dd had been allocated a place at our 1st choice along with the other appealants. On further investigation my LEA have apparently admitted that mistakes were made during the admissions process, not only for primary but also secondary schools. Therefore all appeals were upheld without being heard.
Result for the parents i say. Sorry for seeming so long winded, i just cant believe how relieved i am that its all over and i wanted to give other stressed out parents hope xxxxx
