Completely agree Whitehart it is a lovely school, really very caring and I am very impressed with the education and care my DS is getting.

Sorry laurash that you've changed your opinion of the school so much :wink:

Focusing on appeals, I think the issue is that own-admission authority schools are not as effective at running their own appeals as LAs.

LAs are not immune to making mistakes, but historically the record shows that own-admission authority schools tend to make more! In his special report, the ombudsman wrote: “We have observed differences in performance between LEAs and other admission authorities … we found faults proportionately in virtually twice as many cases involving other admission authorities as compared with cases involving LEAs (39% and 20% respectively).
