Appeal advice needed

[Zingy123]

What information will the panel have on the day?
I want to use parts of the Schools Admission Code and the School's own admissions policy. Do I need to copy these and send them with my appeal or will they have them already? In my written submission I have copied the relevant paragraphs.

Waiting lists
Can I just check I have this information right please. Any rejected places must go to the child at the top of the waiting list the day the rejection is received and not whoever is top of the list the day the reoffer is made. I believe they gave places to children at the top of the list 4 weeks after original offer day in the second round (still have no proof of this as school is shut for two weeks and they refused this information before when I asked)

Do the school get sent my appeal submission information including my evidence?

School is shut until 28th April.
Clerk is away until 29th April.
Clerk wants information in by 30th April.

Surely the school and clerk should be available to help now, it doesn't leave much time to get information to clerk who is based in another town miles away.

Thank you for any help

Another question is it enough to say you want the school speciality e.g. sports or music or do you need to specify individual sports or music e.g, hockey or cello.

Thanks again

It isn't about what you want. It is about what your child needs. So if you want to use sport you need to show that your child is particularly gifted at sport or has some other reason for needing a school that is strong in that subject. You don't necessarily have to specify a particular sport although the panel would probably be interested in which sporting activities were most relevant for your child.
