Hello 1st time poster here after advice on school appeals. I know it's unlikely to win an appeal but feel I have to try everything I can.
We didn't get our 1st choice which we ate deeply disappointed about. My daughter is extremely shy (to the point i spoke to her nursery about possible selective mutism who put in extra measures to help her speak out etc), the school we wanted is a church of England school and I know we could have increased out chances by attending church but my daughter would not leave us to go off to the kids service. I know I should have pushed or found child care but what's done is done.
Anyway when the oversubscribption criteria was applied we did not get a place. We are on a waiting list.
This was the only school we looked around that my daughter actually felt comfortable and let go of my hand (massive deal for her) she had her heart set on it and is upset we didn't get a place. It is a one form entry school so is nice and small which is ideal for her. It is working walking distance. We know members of the pta and other parents and a teacher. I feel she would benefit greatly by attending a small school and one that is close for her trying to form friendships which she struggles with. She can already read and write and is very advanced academically.
What can I put in the appeal? Any advice I'd be so grateful. I know it's a long shot but I feel I at least have to try after letting her down about the whole church attendance.
Thank you for reading! Sorry for rambling!
