its an oversubscribed school so I think thats why she wasnt offered a place.
Her score was 206, her friend scored 210 and lives further away and was offered a place.
we put it as our number one choice on our list, and she wants to go the king edwards girls school in handsworth.
the school offered was fourth on our list but I didnt have information to hand when i placed the school on the list.
What other details do you need?
thanks for such a fast response.
Please remember that you are appealing
for the grammar school place, not
against the school you have been allocated. Given that you did actually decide to put it on your CAF, you can't really complain about the LEA allocating a place there - as far as the system has any feelings at all about the process, it probably thinks it has done well in that your offer wasn't even lower down your list (if you have more than four slots?). Why did you not have the relevant information to hand about your allocated school? The details of all schools have to be available in the LEA's composite prospectus in time for parents to submit their preferences. Was the school in temporary accommodation in a different area when you applied and has only since then announced its permanent location?
