Recently I've moved to the Hammersmith&Fulham area, London, from Tokyo Japan. I applied for 6 schools at the end of July, but the council said there's no place for my 5-year DS because of a lack of capacity.
My DS is on the waiting lists of these schools but the council staff said the allocation process will not start until 2 September due to the summer holidays. But if they cannot manage to find a place, they said I have to make an appeal as the next step.
I am a full-time working mother and will start my job in the middle of September. I am very worried that the council can find a place for my DS at least 15 September.
Could anyone tell me how this process goes? Is such an appeal process common in the UK? If so, how long does it take to complete the process?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
