Hi, we are appealing against a decision not to admit our daughter, we feel that the admissions policy was not followed for two reasons.
- in school policy it states that after sibling priority it is priority for children that have had a mass verification signed by the local priest, we have been informed that only 5 mv forms were sent out (we were one of them and did get it signed) how can they work out who is priority when only 5 forms were sent out ,we haven't had the schools case yet so we dont know for sure how many applied.
- We have had it on good authority (parent) that a non-catholic child has been given a place without a SEN, there is talk of another.
We are appealing on these grounds but until we get the schools case we are finding it very difficult to start the ball rolling as what to write in appeal statement etc.
Our appeal is 29th june which means we got about another week to wait for the paperwork.
I have brought the book by Ben Rooney which is very helpful but I really don''t know how to start and am getting really stressed that i'm gonna fluff it on the day.
Any advice would be greatly received
Thanks
