My daughter hasn't got into our preferred school, we have been given the lower attaining local one rather than the COfE city centre one. We were in the first church going category but people got in who lived nearer.
She is 6th on the waiting list before late applications, there are 200 students in each year. Do you think she will get in, do you think we should appeal?
We have a number of friends who are appealing... my daughter is happy, bright, confident, she loves music and the school we want her to go to is very musical as opposed to the local school - but I can't think of a single good reason why she should get a place more than someone who lives closer. Am I missing something here! Why is everyone else appealing? Of course I want her to go to the better school but it's a process which has been carried out objectively and we didn't win...
