Please can I ask if anyone’s appealed against a primary school allocation on similar grounds? My granddaughter is at a nursery class where she’s very happy and her additional needs have been well catered for (hearing impaired and sleep apnoea). She’s not been allocated this school so he’s going to have to move in September unless we can successfully appeal. As well as her own additional needs which this school are very good at managing, Her older sister was recently diagnosed with diabetes, which means that so much of life in the house now revolves around fear, blood sugar levels and insulin etc - even at night. And because of both children having recent diagnoses of disabilities my SIL is struggling so has been signed off work with anxiety depression, which he’s never done in his life before. My daughter is going to struggle to manage an appeal because she’s carrying so much right now, and working, but to move the little one when she’s so happy and her needs are being so well met makes us all feel like we should challenge this if we can. I’d like to help if I can and if it’s not a fruitless task. Little one is fifth on the waiting list but it’s a small school so I can’t imagine five places becoming available. I’m not entirely sure that a hearing impairment (with hearing aid) and sleep apnoea plus the wider medical issues within the nuclear family are going to be considered serious enough to win at appeal?
