To wish we'd not bothered appealing?

[Sonicknuckles]

DC didn't get a school place with their sibling.
We aren't too far from the school (less than a mile) but are out of catchment and the school was heavily oversubscribed this year.
We've now got an appeal hearing but we have already accepted the other school now and dc is going for settling in days soon teacher been to visit them etc.
It's an infant class size appeal and I just want to be able to move on now.

It is sibling priority here at all schools but we are in a city so guess catchments overlap, perhaps

I think this thread has gone a little bit off-topic.....

@user87382294757 - maybe with schools being closer, risking two children being in schools 6 miles apart is much smaller.

Appeal! See if you can get them at the same school.

What about when they have different inset days? Different dress up days?

No, having separate schools would be a nightmare in this city and very congested...would not really be possible.
