Unsuccessful School Appeal

[Macca1504]

Anyone successfully won out of catchment school request by taking case to Sheriff Court? We recently lost our appeal and weighing up whether to appeal against the decision?

I remember hearing a few years ago that people who were acquaintances of aquaintences used the 1980 act to go to court, I can't remember if they were successful but I know they went through it with some costs. In the nicest possible way I would ask is it worth it? I do t know your circumstances but it seems like a lot of stress to take on over a school place. Moving house might end up cheaper and easier?
I have heard they are close to the option of out of catchment being taken away any way due to the pressures on numbers and staff and space. I hope you find the resolution you are looking for.

I knew someone who got it sorted through their MP, but I think they had a very good reason for it. Worth hitting him/her up though
