Hi guys
I'm looking for some help with my appeal letter. I've picked out some fantastic advice from previous threads but was hoping for some additional advice.
My daughter started in her current school aged 3 and 3 months, attended pre nursery and is now in nursery - shes been at this school for 15 months now and has formed lovely friendships with her peers and relationships with her teachers. We received her rejection letter, for reception class at this school, last week.
I've managed to put together an appeal letter but I really need some help with the more formal/figures section.
The personal reasons I have listed for wanting to attend the school are as follows:
*She had an extremely difficult time settling into to transition from pre nursery to nursery which made her anxious, upset and caused months of wetting accidents that she was embarrassed to tell her teachers about. This resulted in her becoming sore and irritated and having to go to the GP, who confirmed it was behavioural rather than a medical problem (medical report included)
*Her 4 cousins attend the school who see her regularly and help with her confidence around school
*regualr shared pick ups with my sister and brother whose children attend the school
*Our family have attended the school since 1986
I know the LA dont consider these personal reasons but they are close to me heart
I am dealing with an infant class size appeal but the LA have stated the class size regulations are 30, but they have accepted 35 of the 39 applications received.
*her class have already been functioning at 37
*other classes are undersubscribed, some as low as 26
*her class are planned to split (we were informed in parents evening last month)
*the school have split classes in the past
To support my appeal, what information do I need to gain from the LA or school secretary? And how do I use this information in my favour?
Class sizes/intake? square footage?
All advice will be much appreciated!
From one very stressed mum! x
