Not so long story short, we moved counties end of 2017 and as my two boys were at school near my work I decided to keep them there while I settled in and recovered from what turned out to be 12 months of waiting to complete.
I also had the time then to look at the local schools and really liked one in particular. I applied for an in-year transfer and DS2 got into Yr1 for Sept but Yr3 is full so gone to appeal.
But as I've been considering what to say and write, it dawned on me that the LEA hasn't offered an place at an alternative school. So it's not a case of arguing to get into X over Y, it's just an appeal to get into X. If the appeal fails are they just assuming DS1 will continue to go to school where we used to live? Why wouldn't they have offered another school even if miles away? There are other schools locally and I can't imagine the whole borough is full in Yr 3. I don't want any other school but at least that would be the basis of the appeal wouldn't it?
Anyone know why they wouldn't offer any alternative place whatsoever??
