My dd who has a nursery place at a RC School has just been turned down for a reception place.I know that a lot of children would be applying.
We live out of the area(Scool in Salford and I am just over border in Bolton) but school is nearest RC one (we are practising Catholics)and is only 1 mile away.
Also I was told by Education office not to put 2nd choice down (another RC school slightly further away) as I would be offered this in the event first one was full.I have not been offered this but a list of those schools left with limited places and the only RC ones are 4 miles away.
I am very upset and worried as its vital that dd is educated in RC school but appeal docs more or less say that if the class size is upto 30 they cannot find me a place.
Anyone any experience of this and is it worth me appealing?
I know I have probably been rejected because of postcode but school admission critera states that if over submission then those nearest to school as crow flies will get place and therefore a postcode should not matter as I could be nearer than others
