I have a tricky case.
My daughter is due to start reception in September.
We have compleated the Primary school application on time. On the Primary school day offer, we were given the third choice. We were aware that the two fist choices may be too far.
That being said, we have now changed our mind for various reasons and we want our daughter to be placed on a waiting list for the schools we listed as a 4th and 5th choice. I have contacted the LA and they advised I can only make 'in year' application in this case.
The 4th choice was a Catholic school and I contacted them in person to put my child's name on the waiting list. They have done that and advised to let the LA know.
The 5th choice was a very good school nearby to which a lot of my daughter's peers from nursery/preschool will go to which will make the transition easier for her I believe.
How can I address this issue now, please? What does it mean 'in year application' and is there any way I can pursue the LA to keep my child on the waiting list?
Thank you for reading.
