I wondered if anyone had any experience or advice on appealing against a school admission refusal?
My DS and DDiL and the 3 children moved house last month. They have moved 6 miles away from their previous home. Before they moved I telephoned the (primary)school close to their new house and had a long chat with the school secretary. She told me that the school was oversubscribed and that the vast amount of children in the school come from out of the area as this is a feeder primary to one of the better Comprehensives. I spoke to the LEA who said that there was very little chance of the children getting places but they should apply anyway, which we have done. They have been refused places (oversubscribed) and have been invited to appeal. I don't know how long we can manage to get the children to and from school as parents work full time and they rely on me (and other grandma and great-grandma) to pick up and drop off. Any advice would be gratefully received.
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
