Hello all;
I'm after bit of advice and its a long winded story....sorry....
My 5/6 year old boys and I moved to Saudi Arabia from the UK last year to join our/their husband/father and unfortunately the move hasn't worked out...one of the main reasons is that the education is extremely poor. We are returning home to our house at the end of April and I have applied to the council for places - year 1/2 and the school have come back with only an offer for one son who is in year 2. They also gave us an option to move them both to another school which is a drive away if i wanted to keep the boys together. This other school wasn't on my application and the ofsted report isnt as good as the school the boys originally went to.
In my application (which was a transfer application) - i put forward that the boys are moving home and that they would like to move back to the same school as this is the school that they went to for nursery/reception.
Year 1 is full - the classes are at capacity - there are 3 classes with 30 children in each.
I am extremely worried about about my son who has been turned down for a place - he isnt great with new people/change, he will have left his dad in Saudi and they are asking him to either start a new school or leave his brother.
Can anyone advise on appeals and what would be the best way of attacking the appeal.
Thank you
