My daughter had her letter to say she has not gained a place at the junior school she wanted because we are out of catchment and although her infant school feed into the junior school there were too many applications under her criteria for getting in so they have used distance and we are too far away has anybody else had similar experience and got any tips on appeal?
We wish to appeal as she attends infant school out of catchment due to us her parents receiving homophobic abuse when we lived next door to our catchment school which is infant and juniors we had to move house as a result but unfortunately are still same catchment school. The school she is at now is 1 mile exactly from home the junior school is 1.25 miles away.
My daughter has been awarded a place at another junior school but I am not convinced is the best school for her for a start head teacher doesn't like people to be differen e.g. from ethnic minorities. She has got a few friends going there but not close friends also the times will be difficult to collect my youngest from nursery he has just got in which is best nursery in city so huge achievement to get him in there and feeds onto infant school my daughter is leaving which i want him to attend next year
Has anybody got any ideas on how to boost our appeal many thanx
