School Appeals Services

Hello,
does anyone have a good experience with school appeals services?
We were removed from our home, as a result of long term domestic abuse, and have been in temporary accommodation for over a year now. They use the hostel address as a home address obviously. I want my son to go to a school in the area we used to live. My daughter goes to a primary there and I work in there, we have all the support (friends) in the area… It is the only stability he has so I want him to stay within the community. I don’t know what my chances are but for his emotional wellbeing, after everything he has been through, I will do what I can not to make the situation even worse for him.
i was ready to use my credit card and pay £1250 that the appeals services charge. However, after reading some of the posts here I am not sure now whether that is worth it. Any insights will he greatly appreciated 🙏 Thank you

Is he entering primary or moving to secondary (or some other phase transfer)?
