Facepalm!!
So we are appealing to our first choice school for DS and the deadline is tomorrow.
I have not yet prepared a statement because the council website says you need to admit any evidence by 4 days before the appeal.
so I was just going to write the below on the appeal form
"We do not believe that to admit CHILD’s NAME to SCHOOL NAME would prejudice
efficient education or lead to an inefficient use of educational resources. A
comprehensive appeal statement will be submitted in advance of the Appeal Hearing"
And then send the statement on later when I've had a chence to properly prepare it.
BUT then I've gone to the appeals form on the council website and it says the below on it:
"Section 2 - Reasons for your appeal
Your request for a place has been refused and to admit your child would cause
prejudice to the provision of efficient education or efficient use of resources in the
school. Please note - no places are ‘reserved’ for children who are successful at
appeal, therefore the independent appeals panel are looking for exceptional reasons
why your child should be given a place at the school. Please set out your grounds for
your appeal. Continue on a separate piece of paper if necessary. Send us any
evidence you feel might be relevant."
I am now panicking that I've basically got only tonight to write the statement that nay decide DS's future.
can someone put my mind at rest please?
