Two of my children attended the local junior school until the end of yr 4 and then started at a middle school in yr 5(middle school yr5 - yr 8).
To do this I had to ring up the admission people in the sept my children were in yr 4 and get a UIN for them both and then apply like everybody else by the January to find out they had a place in the may for yr 5 in the sept. iyswim
This Sept I rung up again for my third child to be told by a lady that a UIN will be sent in due course.After 2 weeks of waiting I rung back to be told by another lady that as it wasn't a 'natural' transfer for my child then I had to wait til June to apply as it is classed as an in year transfer?
I pointed out that for my other two (one of which was last sept and the other 3 septs ago) I had applied in the sept with a UIN only to be told that that shouldn't have happened and I was advised wrong then and had been advised wrong by the lady I spoke to in this sept.
The problem I have is that if I have to apply in June I will be too late for the private bus that my other children travel on to the school as places have to be booked by the end of May otherwise they are all booked.
What can I do? Is there any way I can argue with the admissions people to give me an UIN or am I completely stuffed about applying for a place for my child?
(Sorry this is so long but I did put paragraphs in!)
