well some news here as spoke to my lea and neighbouring lea as live on border city.
my lea very unhelpful.
said look kow you busy keep it breif.
I hve just changed address online now to new one as if had corrected it before allcatin day and after admission day that would be classed as late applicant-they confirmed thats correect as moved month half ago.
I asked about 2local schools to new address and they said 1 oversubscribed coe church school as really wanted a faith school.
The other community one that daughters freind is attending has 1 space but when said great how do i apply-he said god knows ho that space be allocated wouldent bank o it being actual space.
when asked if how do find out waitlist number. he slike if you moved closer to school 3 which dident get then i have chance but very vaugue,
basically said email them with new change address
wait by letter.
no info on appeals.
wjhen tried to ask about furthest distance he was like wait until you get your letter it explains everything.
I then rang bristol lea who couldent be more helpful.
wondered how appeal/waiitlist option number 2
new free school city centre 30places.
theres basically 5categories
sibling-only openedn last year 1 sibling
kids in care
kids medical needs-na to mine
kids of staff
then category 5random allocation.
so 210applicants all sorted into categories
then everybody has a number so if we 32 could be good although cant see anyone turning down place there.
if we 200 then guess no chance but least I know.
Thres another samll faith school city centre-1space which she explained that 1 space due reffrelas could mean someone has higher priority than me for that vacancy which is better explained than other lea did.
The 2nearest schools near mt eldests chool are both academys and hugely undersubscribed.
1 has 21 vacancies/90places
other has 20applications for 60 spaces so 40places
should that worry me?
I looked round it and was impressed what space they had last year they had 2 classes 15 with 2 reception teachers, 3tas and uge amunt outdoor space and classrooms would that be better education than say school offred slighly better area with 2classes 30 so 60kids?
as most local would think im mad turrning down school 4 for city primary academy as genrally schools failing hence why acedemy.
The schol with 21spaces has a nursery class attached and i have a 3year old boy whos due start next year.
the other academy has separate nursery within the grounds
so both would maybe be good option still struggle with drops offs pickups
I have no idea where on waitlist i am with schools failed to get,
what furthest distance was
how many siblings
i dont think error was made
what grouds to apeal on ics or nset capacity and proving one more non preducical due to pan 20.
would school secrtary be able tell me how many per year group?
as dd1s class under by 2, r is currently 20 and year 1/2 class is less than 30 as goes
20-r
20 yr 1-10youngest year 2s
20years 3s with 10oldest years 2s
20 years 4 with 10youngest year 5s
then 20year 6s and 10 year 5s
thats capacity not actual amount over 5 clases in total
only class 1, 2 and 3 be subject to infant class ruling.
also everyone local ceebrating they all got 1st choice some really had to get into schools too and schools taking wider distance this year i seem be only one know who dident get any of my choices.
But feel better than did last night and this morning i have more choices im ready for the fight.
bristol ea said if get letter can ammend choice 1 and 2 and keep place offered as 3rd choice so wont lose the offer my lea has given me and still be wait lists for original 3 does that sound correct?
I can chase the 2 schools that have 1 space or easily get place at 1/2 academys.
