I am thinking that as part of my DS's appeal; contesting whether the school's priority area is clearly enough defined. To clarify; our house is likely to be very close to the catchment area border.
Within the materials from the LEA is a basic black and white 'map' (line drawing) of the catchment area (this does not overlay an actual map, so there is no indication of streets/towns/landmarks on the outskirts or scale). The written description says that 'part' of some towns fall inside of the limits others do not, and only one outer border is defined in the description.
The LEA are keeping things very close to their chest - suggesting that a map will be with us just before the appeal. I have asked for someone to verbally clarify the outer limits of the boundary close to our property but feel that I got an evasive answer.
Do I have a point to make and what what would make it stronger (e.g. legislation etc)
Thanks
