We've received the school's case for our appeal. While there is nothing totally unexpected there are a couple of things which I would like to question but I'm not sure how to put it.
Firstly although the school intake is 180 per year group, the tutor groups are not split evenly into 30 per group, due t children require support staff or large equipment. A couple in each year 7 - 9 have 28 with others having up to 32.
To me this suggests that clearly the space in the classrooms can accommodate and extra child without to much issue, since it seems standard practice already, but I'm not quite sure how to bring it up.
The other thing is that several times in the info it is mentioned that the school have an unusually high number of students with SEN. Is there somewhere I can find out the average for the local area? Judging by the situation in the primary they attend it doesn't seem that unusual to me.
