Welcome to Appeals!

I'm so sorry to hear what has happened.
Here are some previous threads which might be of interest because a place was offered and then withdrawn (although qualification wasn't an issue):

Our general guidance on appeals can be seen here:

the deadline for appeals has passed
Don't worry - they must still hear your appeal, either with the main batch of appeals, or as soon as practicable afterwards.

Does anyone have any advice to whether this whole mess will be taken into consideration at appeal???
At the very least it ought to get you some sympathy from the panel!

And do I have grounds to complain to a governing body about this mistake and how my daughter has been treated?
I fear the school will just say "Not our fault".
I'm very busy at the moment, but I hope there's enough above to get you started.
