hi everyone
I'm on the verge of crying all the time and it is all my stupid fault
Back at the beginning of Nov I suddenly thought ooh shouldn't it be the time for secondary applications for my daughter, so i looked on the internet and found to my horror that we had just missed the date.
I rang my daughters primary school to find that they had sent all of the forms to the yr5 (at the time) classrooms back in July.
Nothing ever came back with my daughter so i'm guessing the application has been dumped in her tray and then emptied during the summer holidays.
Any way we sent the application off late and attached a covering letter with the reasons for this
Today we have finally been offered a place and it definitely isn't a school that we want.
We have also been told that as of today she is number 25 on the waiting list, originally there were at least 74 ahead of her who got apps in on time but were out of catchment and they take priority over late apps
Our daughter is in the (said) feeder school for bramhall high, our son attends bramhall high and we are in the catchment for bramhall high.
But because of the late application we now have to appeal.
we have no medical grounds
but our daughter is very very shy even with her close friends sometimes and to break them up and sent her to an area that she hasn't ever been to and knowing nobody this is really going to affect her.
Any help towards building a fantastic case would be great
