Hi there to whoever reads!
My daughter is now 4 and is in a great and very popular Schools Reception. However we are out of catchment and her being in Reception doesn't guarantee a place in September for Year 1.
I am so worried that my daughter will not get a place come September, she so settled there and really enjoys it. Dreading to perhaps have to appeal.
Last year they had 204 list as a preferance and they only have 90 places. They met all catchment criteria as this is very small but the distance criteria the school was not able to accommodate , therefore, the pupils living closest to the school were
allocated a place.
now we do not live far away 4 min drive max but so many must apply.
If DD is not offered a place I will appeal..... but what happens with these?
Has anyone any experience of a appeal and whats taken into account?
One worried and upset mummy here! (Bloomin hormones!)
