I live in Lambeth and applied for my DS's preferred school under the exceptional social/medical needs category. Lambeth did not send the supporting letter to Wandsworth and we did not get offered any school places. The application has now been fast-tracked through the system and DS has been prioritised but there are currently no places at the chosen school. I am obviously furious with Lambeth as my DS would have automatically received a place at the chosen school if Lambeth had sent the supporting letter at the correct time.
I have put in an appeal, made a formal complaint to Lambeth and referred the case to the Local Government Ombudsman.
I want to know if there any other children in Lambeth affected by this issue. If so I would urge you to contact ACE for advice and refer your case to the Ombudsman if appropriate.
