The last two children who were admitted to one of my children's classes have only been admitted once their siblings have been admitted and after having to fight to get their children in despite places being available. I am concerned that the school aren't offering waiting list places appropriately and are leaving themselves open to appeals.
E.g. there was a space for a term in the class. It was finally offered half a term after child A's sibling started in the school and the mother heard a rumour that there was a space. Spoke to parent of child B who has been offered a place after their second child was admitted to reception and again had heard that the year group wasn't full. They had been waiting since reception, so technically child A's place should have been theirs (obviously I haven't said anything). There is still a place in the class. Who should I approach about this. Obviously I don't want to criticise the school but I don't want the school to continue to potentially leave itself open to lots of appeals.
