I am hoping someone could please give me some Much needed advice.
We have very recently relocated to a new area, so therefore have had to apply for a year 7 place at an oversubscribed school.
The application has been declined and a place has been offered at the next nearest high school which is over 5 miles away. I have a younger child, so driving my son to the other high school would not be logistically possible and public transport means a train and a bus ride taking over an hour there and then back.
I am going to appeal the decision, but would like some advice on what I should state as the reason for the appeal? The journey itself is bad enough, but then the thought of making my 11 year old leave all his lifetime friends, moving him over 40 minutes away to a new place to start a High school which is nowhere near where he is living, so having no new friends close by is making me loose sleep!! 😞
Please help!!
