I am about to go through the nightmare which is the School Appeals Process and I am interested to know if any one out there has ever won an appeal against school class size? & any advice on how to prepare my case is very welcome

Hi, unfortunately my appeal is against class size and the only point I can think of is that I live further than 2 miles from the school offered to us & im sure the rule is local schools for local children so I should have been offered a school within the 2 miles radius.

That would be a very unusual rule. How exactly is it written in your LEA's admissions information?

If you are offered a school further than 2 miles away for a child under 8 then they have to provide free transport. There are lots of places where there is no school closer than 2 miles.
