Year 5 Appeal in Lincolnshire

Need advice on appeal at school which is full in DD's year group.

We are moving into Lincolnshire and school says it is full. It is only one that is nearby and in DTA. How would I approach the appeal?

Daughter very academically bright, great clarinet player and county level swimmer.

Do I concentrate on why the school is best for her or why she would be great for the school?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

Definitely the former. We warn against the latter approach in:

Let us know if we can be of any further help.
