APPEAL for secondary school stressed

[sham80]

hi my firsT post so stressed can anyone help me as am so stressed whith the whole thing a have a child who goes primary school in heaton mersey and we been given secondary school offer for priestnall my boys extremely upset being burgled twice his not happy travelling by bus and its more convenient for him to go priestnall high so a can pick both boys up you think a got chance of appeal we going through hell at the minute

What reasons did they give for refusing the appeal?

Is it worth trying again with the school that is nearer to you? The waiting list there might be shorter.

There is a further option actually, you can take it to court as a Judicial Review. A judge world be presented with the case for admission from parents and the school and make a decision.

I'm not a lawyer but have a friend who is and we have been discussing this if our current appeal fails.

Hope of some help.

Yes the OP could take it to judicial review but in this case I would not recommend it. I think she would probably lose and could end up having to pay the school's costs in defending the action unless she is on a very low income.
