what our grounds for appeal
Your first argument would presumably be: "
The admission arrangements were not correctly and impartially applied because the child has been deprived of a place to which he was entitled".
The admission authority would have to justify its decision to the appeal panel.
You will want to dispute the school's case, and to argue that you met every single residency requirement as set out in the published admission arrangements.
Think what evidence you might be able to provide to show where he spends most of his time.
Whose GP is he registered with, yours or your wife's?
The second ground for appeal might be that you have reasons for wanting a place at the school which would outweigh any prejudice caused by the admission of an extra pupil.
