Could anyone help me with an impending appeal?
My DD is in Yr 1. She had to go to a different school to her older brother (Yr2) as her year was oversubscribed and we are just outside catchment (which takes precedence over siblings in our area).
The class I wanted her in already had 31 due to twins being the last admitted. I appealed at the time but knew there was little chance of winning due to class size and she went to another local school.
Fast forward a year and my first choice School has lost a pupil reducing their numbers to 30. The LA will still not admit an extra one to replace.
However, we have recently been told that her current school, that last year had 2 reception classes with a full time teacher and TA in each, have now joined the classes together. She is currently in a class of 38 with one teacher, a full time HLTA and a part time TA.
How can this be right when she can’t go to my chosen school that has 30 in the class.
Does this help my appeal? Surely this is perverse? Same local authority the schools are less than a mile apart 😢
