Re: Year 8 spaces?
To confirm my understanding: Distance from school comes into play in the original allocations (after SEN and sibling rules). However, after the initial allocations, appeals are judged on individual merits?Sally-Anne wrote:The distance rule does not enter into the appeal. Even if someone lives 20 miles away and makes a very strong case (such as a sibling already attending the school) they could win an appeal. The fact that you live reasonably close to both schools is helpful though.

Precisely, although the fact that you live in catchment for each school is a point in your favour.anotherdad wrote:To confirm my understanding: Distance from school comes into play in the original allocations (after SEN and sibling rules).
