Secondary school appeal

Hi all, just looking for some advice regarding the Secondary School appeals process. I'm currently gathering evidence and making notes to submit an appeal but I was if I should compare and contrast the school offered vs the school we wanted? For example, school 1 has extra curricular activities that DD would like to join where school 2 doesn't?

I know I'm meant to talk about why the school we want is better suited, but would it be strengthened if it was compared and evidenced that it doesn't have the provision?

Also, I'm unsure why she has not been given 1st choice (it's the closest school to us), I tried to call the number provided by our LA but they've conveniently not allowed any calls

@Butterflyheart Where did you find those experts who advised you on the appeal?

She is referring to the experts who post on Mumsnet, so she found them here.

@NoeB prh47bridge is one of them! (The other two are Admission and PanelChair.) All three are very generous with their time and give great advice.
