Hi everyone,
I am new here and I would just like to ask for some help and advise regarding an appeal I have for my daughter.
Our situation- My daughter is currently in Year 4 and my son in reception. We applied for places for a new school for them closer to home as we moved last year. Anyway my son has been given a place which I am over the moon about, I actually cried when the school rang to tell me! As he hasn't settled well at his current school and says that there are bad boys in his class, 😢 We have been in the school on numerous occasions to speak to the teachers regarding issues that have happend, he is a very social little boy and makes friends easily and also did in nursery but says he doesn't have any friends at school and doesn't want to go! But come September hopefully he will be a lot happier in his new school.
So we have the appeal next week to try and get my daughter a place at the school. We have just received the schools case and all it says is that by admitting one more pupil the current pupils will be at a disadvantage and would cause prejudice.
It is a one intake school and currently there are 30 in year 4, 31 in year 6, 32 in year 1, 31 in year 2 and 30 in all the other class years.
I have included in my appeal letter an assessment my daughter attended last year, due to her complaining of fatigue in her hands when writing and concentration. In the report it stated that both the occupational and physiotherapists who seen her advised that she would benefit from a writing slope and a copy of this letter would also be sent to the school. This was in October and she still doesn't have it, I spoke to her teacher when we received the report but that teacher left in December, so I again spoke to the new teacher regarding this and it still hasn't happened. She has had 3 class teachers since September.
Do you think this could help us win the appeal? They say in the new schools ofsted that communication between the teachers and parents is outstanding and the level of support the children receive is also outstanding.
Sorry for the long post, I have been reading so much everywhere and thought I would try and ask for help with my own situation.
Thanks so much in advance xx
