I would be grateful for any help or advice anyone could offer. Basically my DGD has been refused a place at the Academy situated within 0.4 of a mile from home and allocated a place in a school miles away (and 2 buses). The reason for her not getting a place is that she was unable to get into a feeder school (we failed an appeal to get her into a feeder) and the school has filled up with children from the feeders (despite some of them living miles away). The school is an Academy and its admission criteria seems very unreasonable to me. Basically, Feeder ?, you're in, Sibling Link?, you're in, looked after child? , you're in.
Living on the doorstep? no chance.
Has anyone ever successfully challenged the admission criteria?
Many thanks for taking the time to read my post. i am a very desperate grandma, visiting from Gransnet.
