Any admissions experts out there such as @tiggy? My friend speaks very little English and has applied for a space at a London secondary school for her son. It’s an academy so is its own admissions authority. She is just outside the ‘usual’ catchment which varies slightly each year. However she does look to be within striking distance of being in a good spot on the waiting list. (She is about 600 metres too far though this is London...) The school is flatly refusing to say where she is ranked on that waiting list. My friend is very keen to move house (rogue landlord) but her whole life is in limbo until she knows whether she has a realistic chance of getting into this school. The local authority refuses to get involved as it is an academy. How can we find out where she is on the waiting list? We have missed the appeals deadline. I am really worried for her as she speaks so little English and there is a risk her son will fall behind as she has no time to home school.
