  • I've not heard of any instances where they have helped with getting a child into a particular school.  In fact, our SS were very misleading and classing all the local schools as "much of a muchness" and when I investigated I found the complete opposite was true.  You can appeal for a place in a school you want to your school admissions.  You need to show why it's worse for your child not to be let in that school, than it would be for the school to squeeze in an additional pupil.

    Your case would be all the stronger with professional support, which could come from an Educational Psychologist (which could be a private one), or any professional who has done a report on your child.  I'm sure your PP could advise you more in-depth on this.
