Accepting a place or not?
Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2014 5:06 pm
Hi, I have the acceptance form but do not want to accept the place it has offered my ds. I am going to appeal for grammar school, did not pass 11+ and was unsuccessful at review. if unsuccessful at appeal I will be privately educating my ds.
So, although it says that accepting a place or saying what school he will be attending will not have any affect on the appeal I am concerned that if i accept the secondary school the panel will think I am ok with that, or if I put the private school they may think well they can afford to go private so we don't need to seriously consider him at appeal!
I know this sounds like I have a conspiracy complex, I am trying not to, I just feel so let down by the system so far.
Any advice?
Also it asks if I would like to put my name down on the waiting list for any schools. Can I put my 2 catchment grammar schools in here just in case I am successful at review?
Confused!
