hewerdine Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Hi there We attempted to get into Rosendale Primary school and failed. We are considering an appeal. Does anyone have any experience in appealing against Lambeth or has any information that may help our case.We'd be most grateful to hear from you.kind regards Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16756-school-appeal-rosendale/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
vesti Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Try the ACE (advisory centre foreducation)website. They have a really good - downloadable - booklet taking you through the appeals process. Pretty much contains a template with everything to include in your appeal statement. Hopefully this is the link -http://www.ace-ed.org.uk/Resources/ACE/AppealingForASchool_MCIS_Mar2011_LR.pdf Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16756-school-appeal-rosendale/#findComment-427521 Share on other sites More sharing options...

n11 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 my son was at rosendale nursery but didn't get a place for reception - we went to Lambeth council to appeal but failed. The school had done everything right, we were just a bit too far from the school (0.8 miles 8 years ago!). We were put on the waiting list and only got the place 2 weeks before the start of the summer holidays. I contacted the office everyday to find out how far we were on the waiting list. The catchment area for this year is very small (I think it is about 600 metres). The only way you can win an appeal is if your child has a "statement" or on medical ground. If you are put on the waiting list, find out how far down you are and give the office a ring regularly or pop in to the school. It is worth doing it if you are in the top 10 on the waiting list, there is a lot of movement before school starts in september. Good luck Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/16756-school-appeal-rosendale/#findComment-427610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
