Even assuming the review process is one where parents are allowed to attend, the people there are all acting on behalf of the admission authority and should not anticipate what an independent appeal panel might think.Katie wrote:You are within your rights to request a review meeting just to ask for the schools/LEA's views and to investigate if an appeal would be worth while.
This was an outrageous statement. Completely wrong and misleading.The LEA and school advised that only breaches of the Government Admissions / Appeals Code of Practice would be acceptable grounds for an appeal.
Legally this has been so - strictly speaking it has been necessary only to "have regard" to the Codes. The new Appeals Code (which takes effect next year) will have statutory force, but even so it will, I believe, draw a distinction between what 'must' and what 'should' be done.the Ombudsman's office advised that the Codes of Practice were only there as guidelines
