Any advice or thoughts would be welcome!
I am appealing for a school which has admitted 28 pupils, I have been told by the secretary that on 2 previous years in the last 5 they have admitted 29 pupils but the info from the LEA, when i asked, said that only 28 had been admitted for the last 5 years. The LEA also said that the school had more pupils that the net capacity and that this figure was calculated on there being only 25 pupils in R, year 1 and year 2. Some classes higher up in the school have only 22, 24, 25 pupils. I have asked for classroom sizes but they havnt supplied them. I have also checked the website for the next years admission and it states the PAN as being 30 (previously has been 25 or 28 for last few years). Not sure how to present this when writing my statement, is it ok to use info from the secretary even though different from the LEA and should i use next years PAN, thinking that if they can take 30 next year why not know?
Ofsted have never mentioned anything about overcrowding or lack of space and school has gone from satisfactory to good on a recent inspection.
to complicate matters I have twins so want 2 places, anyone got any experience of appeals and twins. Will they hear the appeals seperately? Should i put that I need them to admit 30 children on the statement?
Both have the same medical condition but have written 2 seperate staements with supporting info from hospital etc but they are virtually identical.
