School appeals again

Sorry to bore everyone but we have another 2 sets of school appeals coming up in the next week.

After the recent (unbelievable) success of our secondary school appeal for the eldest DGD, we have another round of appeals for the youngest 2 DGC (9 and 7) coming up next week. They have (yet again) been turned down for their local primaries and DDiL and I are set to do 2 sets of 2 appeals (4) over 2 days. I think our chances of winning are about zero (if last time is anything to go by) as unlike the secondary appeal, the schools are in LA control and they are always on the side of the schools and don't give a monkeys toot how far the children have to travel every day. Their way of thinking seems to be that they have a school, its miles away, tough, but heaven help you if they are late ! Reading through their paperwork last night it is apparent they have copied and pasted every word throughout the 4 appeals.

I really don't need this additional stress.
