School removing my daughters place

[JustWriter]

Hi 👋🏼 I’m new to this,
just looking for advise basically my daughter got a school place for reception, where she attends nursery however just recently I’ve have to move house due to unforeseen circumstances my mum becoming ill and needing to care for her . So obviously I’ve let the LA know I’ve moved, as I thought it was the right thing to do. However because I’ve moved I’m under a new LA, even though I am on the boarder of each one and haven’t moved far. They have removed my daughters place and passed me over to the other LA well, obviously now I am down for a late application as it’s a new LA and have to start it again. All the decent school places have been taken and they have given me a school that is very poor. I wouldn’t mind any other than the one they have given me it’s that bad I am now considering I will have to homeschool till given a place else where as she is on the waiting list and is number 1. I have appealed the decision what do you think the chances are of winning I think it’s outrageous to remove a school place and give me what’s left when my application was on time and I had no other choice but to move. My daughter even was under the impression she was attending the school as we attended all the school meetings. I’m so disappointed and worrying what will happen any advice appreciated as I’ve never been through this process before

Update I’ve spoken to the LA where the place was removed the manager rang me I explained you have unlawfully withdrawn my child’s place and are not following the admissions code basically he was having none of it and said my case could be argued it was misleading so he isn’t willing to do anything till the appeal is heard as he believes they have followed the admissions code

I am not surprised at all. As I say, I know which LA you are dealing with and I've dealt with them several times before. They have their own view of how school admissions should operate which is different from what it says in the Admissions Code. They have been twisting words for more than a decade to convince people they are complying with the Code when they clearly are not.

Yes theres is no reasoning with them so i have given up talking to them as its really frustrating me l said to him the reason i am appealing is because ive now been allocated a poor rated school which is going to have a detrimental effect on my daughter. How can they argue it’s misleading? How can they get away with is ridiculous

I have helped another parent where the LA (a different one but with a similar approach) tried to argue that her being evicted unexpectedly by her landlord in May meant her application had been intentionally misleading. They appeared to think that she should have time travelled back to tell her earlier self what was going to happen and applied from her new address. I pointed out to the appeal panel that, at the time she applied, the address at which she lived was the only one she could use and the only one the LA would accept. We won.
