Unfortunately we have not been given our first choice of primary school ( Reception).
They have offered the second place, and said we will be on the waiting list for our first choice.
Im not happy with the second choice, as it’s further away and have no connections and no one can collect my child apart from me.
i am a working mum, and my husbands health declined since I had applied so he cannot do the schools. I also have a daughter who will be starting nursery in another place so it will be a mission
i hadn’t even applied because I wanted the second choice, but it was merely because I didn’t want to be placed somewhere even further away. This was the second closest school to us.
Now, my neighbours right next to us have applied and got their first choice ( they didn’t put down a second choice). So now I feel extremely daft!
is it true in your experience that if I never had put down another school name I would have got my first choice?!
I will be appealing, has anyone else appealed and got their first choice?
The neighbour also suggested I don’t accept the second offer, as then they may prioritise me for my first choice. is this true in your experiences? Did anyone decline the offer and get prioritised?
or how long was the wait if you did accept the second choice ?
