Going through the joy of applying for a primary school place.
I have a complicated illness meaning I am unable to sit for car journeys of 15 mins or more (I have been excused from jury duty because of this) yet equally due to this condition I have to keep proportionately moblie and a few very short walks daily.
This means I have to get DS into our local catchment school as the next closest one is a car journey away and I won’t be able to do the 4 trips a day.
My rheumatologist, consultants, GP’s and the social worker that helped me with DS’s care for the first 2 years are all on board to support my application.
There are only 22 places available. The school is so good that last year over 1,000 people applied.
My question (if you’re still with me 
) is.....do I need to outline this situation as the reasons for choosing the school or shod I leave it then throw this into the mix at appeal if we don’t get in?
Will it seem to needy if I put my medical issues on the initial application form?
