I cant believe this, I bumped into a mum I know from when ds used to be at baby group who I still see around and say hi to today. She was also at our school appeal a couple of months ago as she was also appealing for the same school we were. Anyway, she said another mum who we also both know, deliberately rented a house opposite the school for 6 months to get her son in (and was successful). The LA have been told about this by several people, but have said they can't do anything until September (?)
I am fuming, at the time the schools were allocated, ds was number one on the waiting list, so that should have been his place. Other people have since moved nearer and ds has now moved down to second on the waiting list. What a kick in the bloody teeth. Why do they have to wait until September, and what will they do? At our appeal they said they took this kind of thing very seriously, but it turns out they knew that day as this other mum brought it up in her appeal, and others have too.
