please help - my sisters dd has been given a school miles away

[keresley]

All her local schools she put on the application were turned down. She wants to appeal, have any of you had a positive appeal. What do you write on the in the appeal letter?? Thanks in advance.

How is she supposed to get to the school? Is it practical on public transport? If it is assumed that she is driving I would phone the LEA and ask how they are to get there because she can't drive/has no car/needs the car for work in the opposite direction/any excuse she can think of.Ask if they are providing a taxi twice a day.
If it is practical from public transport then you will need a letter. Get numbers applying and numbers admitted from the LEA. Choose the most likely to get a place. Get the list of criteria and see what you fit.
Get on a waiting list.
