So much for my championing of state education! We've heard this morning that our twin scunners have been rejected from 3/5 of the local schools we applied to (and I have absolutely no hope of them getting into the other 2 since they are religious schools and I did not pretend we were religious.) What happens now? I'll ask for their names to be kept on the waiting lists. Is there any point in appealing? Can the LEA now send them anywhere in the borough where there are places left, even if this involves long journeys or separate schools? I'm feeling slightly gutted that this is going to be such hard work. Any words of wisdom?
