Help appreciated! This has probably been done to death but feeling unusually stressed. Any words of wisdom/kindness appreciated. We're waiting for a place at our first preference school. Didn't get any of the three preferences. DD is the only child in her class offered the local 'failing school'. We're number 4 on the waiting list of our first preference. How will we find out if we get offered something? And how often is it reasonable to phone the school? DP and I are both feeling worn down by the whole process. We have an early appeal date. DD is miserable and has begged me not to send her to the failing school. Trying to not be at all negative while listening to her (v v accurate and reasonable) views. Lots of truancy - apparently to avoid bullies. No idea what to write on appeal forms.
