Hi,
I should start out by saying that understand the appeal process for Primary Places is very unlikely to be successful if a school is over subscribed. But I still have a (probably stupid!) question.
We narrowly (by 0.1 of a mile(!), based on official admissions details) missed our preferred school.
We're going onto the list of continued interest (currently waiting to find out our position) but I am not sure if it is still worth appealing? Or rather if not appealing could put us at a disadvantage if someone living further away (but with no more grounds to appeal than us) could essentially skip over us for a place, if we don't also appeal?
I really don't want to waste anyone's time with a pointless appeal, but also don't want to have the potential to miss out on a potential place because we don't do anything when some other parent nearby does.
The only possible grounds for appeal I can see that we may have is we live on a new development and so there may be a distance measurement error. But I assume the LA will have accurately mapped the area so that is unlikely?
I hope what I am asking makes sense. Thanks in advance for any help!
