Re: 2013 Bucks Appeals Booklet
Morning SA and All.
Oversubscribed School BHS.
My daughter "A" has been refused her first preference - Beaconsfield High School (BHS) as we are just outside their catchement even though her sister "B" is in year 7 at BHS. I'm unable to ascertain whether my daughter "A", having passed the 11 plus and now refused Beaconsfield High School is better off on a waiting list or going to appeal (or both). The only grounds for appeal would be logistical and for existing sibling reasons.
Would the appeal board know which school we have accepted lower down on the CAF form. Would accepting a school lower down the CAF form jeopardise the appeal?
Is it worth renting a house for a year or two in order to get into the catchment at this stage?
Thanks and regards,
Flosi

The rules are quite strict - to stop the use of addresses of convenience.Is it worth renting a house for a year or two in order to get into the catchment at this stage?
- Please make sure you tell us if you
move house after you have made
your application.
In deciding which is your Normal
Home Address we would not usually
accept an address if:
• You or your family has a second
home elsewhere as a main
residence. We expect that you
have sold, or leased, through an
agency, your previous property
or that a lease agreement on a
property you previously rented
has expired and that you have
no other residence.
• Only part of a family has moved
out of the Normal Home
Address unless this was part
of a divorce or permanent
separation arrangement. If
this is the case we will ask for
evidence of this.
• Two or more families claim to
be living together in a property
which is not suitable for the
number of adults and children
present and for which there is
no formal record of this
arrangement.
• A child moves to a home other
than with their parent, unless
this is part of a formal fostering
or care arrangement. We may
check this information.
We can refuse to accept where
you say your child lives if we have
any doubts, in which case we will
continue to ask for evidence to show
that you and your family actually live
where you say you live. We may ask
our legal team to investigate or ask
that you provide legal confirmation
of your address. We may check the
evidence you have provided with
other agencies, including your child’s
current school.
If we offer a place at a school and
then discover that the offer was
made on the basis of fraudulent or
misleading information (for example,
a false claim to living in a catchment
area), and this denied a place to
another child, we will withdraw
the offer of that place. This has
happened in previous years.
