Hi, my daughter has been offered a place at our third choice. We are considering appealing. What sort of arguments are put forward in appeals? Are you supposed to criticise the allocation system, sell your child to the school, or beg, or tell the school they really need your child, or an emotional argument as to why we chose that school in the first place? What are legitimate grounds for appealing? Our first choice was out of our catchment area, our second was well within but a faith school so we were bottom of the criteria. Is it unreasonable to appeal just because you're unhappy and feel a school is not well suited to your child? Thank you
