Lost School Appeal - Advice Needed

26 replies

Hi

i have received a letter today advising that our school appeal had been dismissed

I had quite a compelling case backed with lots of medical reports etc including clinical psychologist reports

On the day of the hearing the clerk emailed me approx 1 hour before asking me to stick to main points of my case due to time constraints. I had to cut short my verbal presentation but I had a well presented written submission which I hoped would help with times

The letter says the decision was heard on my written submission, - it was a virtual hearing ?

I don’t think my daughters circumstances were taken into consideration and I know most parents think this but I actually believe their is prejudice towards my daughter not being granted a place

Is it worth a referral to lgo?

Does your daughter have a school place?
Is it likely that any further appeal or investigation will take place before the start of term?

Unless you are not intending to send your daughter to an allocated school, I’d stay on the waiting lists for those you want and wait for a space.
