Hi,
This is my first post so please be gentle.
Last year i moved my eldest daughter (year2) to a new school. Her sister had just stared reception. I asked if i could move get and was told unfortunately the clad was at maximum compassity (30) then a few weeks later asked again to be told no and that they were taking on a looked after child. A month later another looked after child started brining the class to 32. I know a few parents in that class and a few weeks ago was told one of the original 30 children left the school. I asked the head teacher (for the millionth time) and he advised that he would see what he could do. He said unfortunately he couldn't give the place to my daughter unless the admissions team said he could. I sooner to them and they obviously said that legally they can't etc. But then advised to submit a paper request for the place and that i can do am appeal. Which is what we've done.
Our appeal it's Friday.
My argument is that we are a religious family (its a rural cofe school) her sister is there and outside of school she socialises in clubs with children from this school. Currently she only had a couple of children to play with as the others are bullying her for being small (she's almost 6 and they're saying she's 4 and won't play with her). She's asked every week when she can move and be with her sister.
Does anyone know what our chances are of winning the appeal?
The school do have others wanting a place in what is now year 1.
Also to add i do know the school has gone over the class limit of 30, a recently as last year in my daughter's class where i was advised she took place 30 and then 2 children started after her ending year 2 on 32 children.
Thanks for reading of you have got this far
