Congrats to those who got 2 what they wanted.
sorry those who dident get what they wanted hope works out for you
Lovely read positive stories of not getting 1st and working out fine keep then coming Augher at London office pressing button at 5 and running out.
Wish bristol got 6 preferences.
Thanks for setting up this support thread.
I'm. Oddly happy but sad.
We dident get eldest school which would have been best for sons needs or 2nd choice but we got 3rd choice goodies school near our house we walk past it on way eldest on morning after school is where it's tricky.
Not getting 1st preference even more stressful split siblings. Disney men a cause offence seaside or start economic debate just not every school has wrap around care and yes will cost me.
So situation I now have.
Do aged 9 year 5 sept.uts her 2nd primary as 1st was dire ans she's done so well so happy settled been there nearly 3 years just over a mile but we out of catchment so our county gives no sibling link.its has good ofsted 100percent year 6 sats deputy head year 6 teacher and we can walk to it we know everyone we love the school.
D's 2 5.8 still in nursery plus home ed .She's happy but leaves nursery in July as she's blatantly now too old.she was only sibling from her preschool not get a place last year at eldest school we got none if 3 preferences ans allocated school but not great one or logistically possible. So we declined we moved up and down waitlists. She's no 1 at school a eldest school on waitlist.
She's also no 1 on school c which nearer infabts 3rd preference last year same this year for her brother. He's 4 support start sept and he's been offered a place.
It's a good school just large split site and wasent convinced good witu sen already worry he's not ready.but his sister is ready and if accept next person who leaves space is hers as will get sibling link but have eldest in 1 ans 2 in the other.
5mins walk from.house ans we walk past it get to school a.
Dident get 2nd preference bout of county which felt better for him.we live on the border.
Need chat nursery see if they keep him longer as she has funding.
Thinking accepting nearest infants ans defering which means middle one has sibling link but she really wants eldest school.
I'm. Appealing 5 year olds place at eldes school reception as without prejudice appeal as pan is 20 reception class is 20 ans year 1 2 mixed class is under capacity as 4 year one spaces riggt now and she's 16th sept ans is only a class 2 as class 3 mixed ks1 ans ks2 year 2 ans 3 so is don't apply.
Still till does not solve youngest.
But I don't feel he's ready.
Wondering if can win appeal as council unfairly not considered his sen.
So im.appealing his primary place ans send appeal rejection if his ehcp plan and going private so can get more evidence.
Until then home ed 5 and 4 year old if need be ans keep my options wide open in slightly better position than last year and him getting place gives 5 year old higher priority as she's been bouncing up and down that waitlist despite 509 metre distance.
Freinds didn't get nearest 2schools so loads people travelling miles and dissappear.
Combination high birth year snow babies as midwife called them high sibling and lots new housing as create perfect storm.
