Just wondered if anybody has come across the issue we are currently having? We have been rejected for all 3 of our preferred primary schools. 2 of the 3 were rejected on infant class size so we haven't bothered to appeal but our first choice school was rejected on the basis that we are out of catchment area so we have submitted an appeal and spent hours putting our case together. We are waiting for the appeal date to be issued but have now received a letter advising that the reason for rejection has now been changed to infant class size. The letter seems to indicate that infant class size can be used if the local authority feel that the class size will be breached "up to two years in the future" but having looked at the class organisation and numbers that have been provided by the school, it does not appear that they will be close to having 30 in any one class during the next two years. It almost feels as though they have seen our appeal and then completely moved the goal posts and tried to find another reason for not giving my son a place at the school. Does anybody know whether they are actually allowed to change the reason like this? And whether they then need to evidence how the maximum class size will be breached? Grateful for any advice as it now seems so unfair, and as though the time spent on our appeal has been a complete waste of time. Any advice gratefully received......
