Appeals

[threeslickers]

I am looking for advice appealing a high school place. My daughter didn’t get any of her choices and was given an alternative. I know the chances of winning an appeal are slim but I wouldn’t be doing her justice if I didn't try as the school she has been offered is diabolical (not exaggerating) and who doesn’t want better for their child. My high school failed me and so did my family and I want better. My child doesn’t have any special circumstances why she should get the place she is in the lowest category (other children) but I know going to the school offered will hinder her education because they can’t give her one! Any help on what to put in the appeal would be greatly appreciated.

Oh yes, I know - unfortunately your LA is not alone - but from an applicant POV, it does give them an advantage in the appeals process. We as a panel are unlikely to say, oh well, you'll get a place by Sept...

has Roundhay School had any successful appeals in the last 5 years?

@lizziecoat63ACE are you new to mumsnet? It just seems odd to revive someone else's old thread with a random question about a specific school. You may have more luck starting your own thread. Scroll to the top of this one and choose 'Start a new thread' from the drop-down menu.

Thanks for the advice. I thought of that after adding to this thread and did as you suggest. Not posted before.
