Post appeal waiting lists help
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2014 12:10 pm
Hi everyone
My daughter (failed test) was deemed suitable for grammar at appeal but was placed on the waiting list rather than allocated a place. The school year group is usually 165 children, however the appeal panel had deemed it would not cause significant predujudice and forced the school to accept an extra 15 children.
I am told that 16 children must leave the school (ie return to original intake number) before any child on the waiting list may be offered a place.
If the appeal panel stated it would not cause significant predujudice to have extra students, can the school be forced to offer places to those on waiting lists if just one child leaves?
Incidentally, children from 11miles away have been offered places - we live across the street (frustrating)
Any help appreciated
Thanks
Julie
