Do I have a case for a school appeal? I will try and keep everything as fact base as possible so I don?t waffle on for ages but I am pulling my hair out with the stress of it all and soon will move on to DH?s hair and he has precious little of it left as it is! 
Basically we are a forces family moving into an area. We received our MOD address in March but were informed that as we were moving in from overseas we weren?t entitled to register for school places until we were living at the address. Only through talking to another family moving over from and too the same place, who had applied, did we find out that this was wrong. I immediately contacted the applications services people and we applied at the end of April which was after the closing date for applications. We went in as Late applications (the shame of it all I?ve never been late for anything in my life) 
Our youngest two children were eventually given our third choice school which I was grateful enough with so immediately changed my eldest child?s first choice to the same school. We were told he was 34th on the waiting list due to class numbers and as soon as first two start in September he would move to first place as at that point it was going off distance alone. At present his year group are year 2 but in September when he will need to start he will be year 3 (he has completed the full school year in the country we are coming from). So as far as I am aware class size rule is not as restrictive. Is this right?
My eldest is under a great deal of emotional stress leaving his class friends and teacher and life overseas and is very much grieving their loss and while I tell him the class he is going into is full he still is very distressed at the idea of being split up from his siblings and not having a clue where, if at all he will be placed. His nights are very restless and I have real concerns about his emotional wellbeing. 
I have been in frequent contact both on the phone and by email to the education services team and each time I have reminded them to contact me on either my email or at my parent?s address and now I have just read and email sent today to say that my son was offered a place at a different school on the 4th of June! However they sent the correspondence to our new address which we have no access to until later this month. 
The most upsetting part is that I would have gladly accepted the place (despite the difficulties of the school run split between the schools) if nothing, but to easy the worries of my child.
If you got this far thank you, if anyone can offer advice, support stories from experience it would be very much appreciated.
