Hello knowledgable mumsnetters!

Can anyone please help...if an ICS appeal
Is successful and child takes place at that school. Does that child have the same status as those who were not offered a place as outcome of appeal? Eg, in subsequent admissions rounds if a sibling were to apply that sibling would be certain in sibling category.

Does being admitted under successful ICS change anything??

TIA

I’m sorry you post is hard to understand but are you asking if a child who gets a place on appeal counts as a sibling for future applications?
If so then yes, the fact that they got in on appeal is irrelevant

Yes thank you that answers my question! Last minute panic ahead of national offer day!

Once you win the appeal, that child is just like any other. The only impact it has is on other applicants, because the child becomes 'child 31' and the class size has to drop to 29 before they can admit a child from the waiting list.

In all other ways, they are just like any other child. So they count as a sibling for future admissions rounds.

But check the school admissions criteria for siblings, if the excepted child was out of catchment and the school had a siblings in catchment taking priority over out of catchment siblings then that criteria would apply to future admissions .

That is no different for any sibling at that school, though. The question here was whether a child admitted after appeal is treated differently to a child admitted under the main round.

Yes, I realise that, but since the OP was preempting an ICS appeal and mentioned another sibling I thought I would flag it in case they thought a later sibling would get a shoo in . Since a successful ICS appeal is apparently a bit of a unicorn it is probably a moot point.

I got the impression that the OP has perhaps won an ICS appeal in a previous year, and now the sibling is awaiting National Offers Day, although I may have misinterpreted.

My LA has an ICS appeal success rate of 0.4%, so very rare although not impossible.
