There appears to have been some sort of mix up with my son’s secondary school placement.
Our first choice was A and our second was B. We were allocated B which I was a bit surprised by but as he would have been in category 10 as a non catholic sibling for school A it was always possible that this would have been the result.
However I then rang the school (A) to make sure he was in their waiting list when I was told by their admissions person that there had been a mistake and that he did have a place.
I am now a bit confused! Obviously we would like him to go to A but I don’t know if I should begin the appeals process or if this is an error and it will all be sorted without needing to go through an appeal? I have accepted the B place anyway so as not to be left without a school.
There is the possibility that the admissions person was wrong and we are beyond the distance cut off this year, we were a km inside it last year but it’s a very popular school and this may well have shrunk.
I’ve rung everyone I can think of but am off today for a snow day and just wondering if I shoul get started on the appeal? I have good grounds, I think.
