Hi, I know there are a few posts on here addressing this but I was after some specific advice. We received the email offer of a place for our daughter at our first choice primary school which we accepted a few days later. Then another 9 days after that (12 days after the original offer), we had a phone call yesterday saying there had been an error so the offer was being withdrawn. As there are 3 schools closer to use, presumably the error was that we were originally deemed to be in the catchment area but have now been ruled out based on distance.
I've seen the messages regarding a 3 day period being too long a delay in withdrawing an offer in previous cases and that the regulations have recently changed to allow authorities to withdraw offers if a mistake has been made. What grounds do we have to contest this and have the offer reinstated do you think?
Thanks
