Anyone any experiene on challenging school allocation/transfer?

[????]

Anyone?

thanks

? Can you clarify? Are you talking about appeals or just dealing with allocation that's not to your liking? Secondary or primary?

Hi Prickle,

Transfer from Primary to Junior for child with a statement - allocation that's not (in our view) consistent with provision thus far. Feels like a wrangling between junior school and Southwark re funding/resource rather than anything to do with our child's educational or personal wellbeing.

Thanks

We appealed against primary school allocation, but unsuccessfully... Welcome to PM if more info would help.

Hi ????,

children with statements of SEN usually have priority when it comes to allocation of school places (Academies set their own admissions policy, but statemented children usually have priority there too). Please email me if you want me to look into this for you,
