Hello.
My daughters (twins) have got into our second choice school. Our catchment school was our third choice but I really wanted our first choice.
Our first choice is our nearest school.
I've put them down on the waiting list but am thinking of appealing but I'm not sure I have any grounds to. They don't come into any of the 'special' criteria so I'm only looking at distance I think? I've been reading threads but really don't know where to start!
I think I need to ring the council to ask about how they measure distance.
The last allocated space for last year was 680.84m and our letter says we are 710.9948m. Is there any thing else I need to ask? I need to be a bit clued up so I come across as vaguely knowing what I'm talking about!
Also, why is their catchment school ie the one they were put down for before we made our choices, the 3rd furthest from our home? There's 3 in the local area.
Any help gratefully received!
