Secondary School Appeal could cry

[Boymumtimes4]

Just got the appeal pack and feeling hopeless. I thought we had a fighting chance given our reasons below but they’ve put that they’ve already taken an additional 15 students over pan and they can’t even take one more child and all these health and safety concerns etc I just feel like crying as there’s literally no other school I can do given the below reasons as a single parent with hardly any support

1. racism from students at allocated school well documented with police reports
2. Im Guardian to my 2 nephews both SEND. 1 is starting primary in sept and other attends school I want my son to go to. My argument is I can’t escort 3 children to 3 separate schools and older nephew is unable to travel independently due to his needs.
3. mental health implications well documented struggles doctor has wrote me a letter and we have a Camhs referral and also support at primary school

Pleased for you OP.

My view was in line with others who have cited the total lack of bigger picture thinking on the part of the local authority should this decision cause the placement to fail.

The effort you are putting in to caring for your nephews… sending your son to the same school so you can get them both there is the very least society as a whole should be allowing you.
