My daughter was in her first school from reception until until the end of year 3 , we moved away to Devon . We are now moving back to the area where my daughter was at school and applied for place and she has been refused .she is currently year 5
When we moved to Devon my daughter really suffered emotionally and academically. The first school she started at - she just could not settle - she changed from a happy confident girl - to a shell . Her studies suffered . We went into the school various times to discuss this and also she went to a one on one with a thrive teacher. She was also bullied and rejected. We moved her to another school - she is really trying to fit in - but she is still very unhappy and feels like she doesn’t belong there ( she is now in year 5). I have now contacted CAHMS for help- waiting to hear back.
So since leaving her first school, she has been to two different schools in to years.
I believe this has really affected her emotionally and academically.
I was hoping when we move back this summer she would start year 6 at her old school with her old friends we still visit and are in touch with . With the security of familiar school, teachers and what to expect.
Unfortunately this is not happening. She will have to go to a 3rd school on 3 years . This will take its toll on her and really affect her .
I have read that this could affect her whole academic life and confidence etc.
The school has said I can apply again in July . They took 2 applicants in her year in this round of applicants - one with siblings , the other was closer than us.
Should I write a letter to the school saying what I have said above in more detail for the next Governors admissions meeting .
If she doesn’t get in then I will appeal - am I likely to win on this reason?
