I am a primary teacher but also a parent of a Reception child who didn't get into my school (it's a whole 800 metres from our home) so started Reception at another local school but as it has no before/after school provision it won't actually be possible for me to get my child to school whilst also arriving at school on time myself (I'm on maternity leave at the moment).
During the Christmas holiday I received a letter from Admissions informing me that there was a place for my child at 'my' school. Fast forward one week and it would appear that Admissions have over-offered the available place, twice. 'My' school are now taking legal advice as to what they should do but I was wondering if Admissions have any legal right to withdraw the offer of a place to my child? I understand that places can be withdrawn if misleading information was used in an application for a place but this is not the case for me - we were offered the place because we came to the top of the waiting list.
I'm assuming that if it is an administrative error then the LA would simply have to make arrangements to fund an additional place/provide an additional teacher so that the class size is 30 or less.
Does anyone know anything else that may put my mind at rest? Thank you!
