Hi i was just wondering if anybody had any advice on appealing for a year 3 class. My son is currently in year 2 moving to year 3 in September. He and I have had so many issues with his current school it has got to the point were both of us want him to move, hes deeply unhappy here and its affecting me greatly. I have had to put an appeal to my council as the school i wish him to attend is full, he has been on the waiting list for over 18 months and also on other waiting lists in the area. I know my appeal is a prejudice one rather than a infant class size appeal so i am trying to convey the best i can how the school better suits his needs. The school in question is a non religious school in my catchment area and is the one i hope my younger son will attend come September 2017. I have tried to resolve the issues with my current school with meetings with the teachers, head and deputy head i see no real solution has come from these meetings. I am looking for any advice that will help my appeal. i have gone through the preferred schools prospectus and highlighted things they offer that will better suit my child than were he is now hes been classes as able,gifted and talented but current school is not offering anything to encourage or work to stimulate him to this level. In the last 2 years at current schools hes had 7 yes 7 teachers the morale in the school is very low and hes no stability . Were he is now is also a Catholic school something which my son is struggling with as he has very firm beliefs that there is no such thing as god and Jesus and prefers to use logic to understand things. The school i am appealing for has great league table results and a reputation for good quality stable teaching. They offer a curriculum which supplements the national curriculum but offers extra skills . My son also has friends who attend this school so that would help the transition as hes not really made many friends in 3 years in current school another reason id like him to move. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a stressed Mum :(
