Does anyone have any advice or testimony about the appeal process? My daughter was not offered a place at any of the secondary schools we listed and this is my first time dealing with appeal process. Southwark say that 95% of families get schools of their choice so I'm feeling very unlucky!

I'm sure that there are others who can give more specific advice but my experience of appeals is that ,to be succesful ,you have to show

either that the admissions process has been incorrectly applied or

that your child has some exceptional need ( social,medical ) to go to a particular school .

Events include GALA Festival in Peckham Rye, August’s Boiler Room, Jazz Café and Maiden Voyage in Burgess Park, and RALLY festival in Southwark Park." What would of course be interesting to know is what they spend this on. Is there any transferred benefit to those local people who live around and use these facilities? But I wouldn't hold your breath for an answer.
    • An interesting article from Journalist Jim Waterson about how much councils make from festivals....it starts with an article about 5g but scroll down for the festivals article    https://www.londoncentric.media/p/real-5g-conspiracy-how-londoners-lied-over-their-phone-signal
    • Could you give the news source so that I can see whether it is reliable (like BBC) or nuts ( like Reform conspiracy insights)?
