School admission appeal
Show your support
Nobody spoke to me about sending my son to nursery and honestly he started so late that I made sure to find out about reception/primary school applications so the mistake wouldn’t be repeated again. It is best to make sure you are aware of everything yourself!
@Sadia thats the annoying thing, not one of the teachers told me I needed to apply, it was actually one of the other mums who told me 2 days after applications closed as she was around my house then over the weekend😭
Honestly, so long as he gets into a school nearby then he should be fine. I was so worried about nursery and questioned everything when everything was actually going well! It was daycare btw that he had gotten into (not nursery) so you can imagine my mum going a bit crazy that it’s not nursery etc. My son had made a friend there and nobody told me that is all he needed for nursery - just to make friends! The guilt I feel as a mum is so great but these kids are resilient so I can only hope that in reception he can make friends. As a first time mum you make mistakes but all you can do is move on and not repeat them.
Omg I’m so sorry! I know how horrible it is to be late and find things out late! In the UK, everything happens a year in advance.
@Sadia the school he did get an admission for is absolutely terrible. Bullying, the teachers, the quality of education and I know too well because I used to go there myself and I’m a supply teacher so I have been to it a few times recently too. I don’t feel comfortable at all I just know it will effect me a lot mentally
Oh no you shouldn’t have applied late!Then you will be the LAST applicant to be even considered for the school as all the on time applications will be considered first. I’ve seen the statistics for appeals in the booklet for the previous year and barely anyone got what they wanted, as the classes are at full capacity and they can’t take more kids. You can try your luck and hope for the best but don’t be disheartened if it doesn’t go as you wanted it to. I don’t have any idea if your reasons are enough - maybe somebody else can give an idea. Honestly, the nursery staff or someone should’ve at least been asking you whether you applied for primary schools.
