Hello! Any advice welcome, especially from successful appealees or panel members.
My DD was refused a place from our local school. I’ve been told that this is a class size appeal and that these are very rare to win. I know all this, but I have some specific circumstances I’m not sure they’ve considered. There is a prohibited steps order in place for her to protect her from abduction and I have a health condition that require frequent emergency and urgent surgeries. I have no support network except for 1 neighbour who takes my child to school on days I can’t walk. I need to be close to the school for emergencies and I need to be able to get her to the school which will be impossible with the school we’ve been given.
Please don’t come on lecturing about the negative impacts of 31+ classes. Trust me, if I had the choice I’d happily move her from the preschool there and never go to the school again. I’ve considered home learning but I work full time from home and it’s just not practical. I really don’t have the luxury of choice. This isn’t about “best school” or convenience so much as NEED at this stage in our lives.
Does anybody know what classifies as “perverse”? Do we have any chance at all here? Any help or advice would be very much appreciated!
