If i dont chelle i aint sending him to a school in Blackburn, he has been offered one of the worst schools in Lancashire, i'd rather keep him off and teach him myself than send him to that hell hole

AccyLass · 03-03-2008, 12:47

Which 1 is it? Does he only get offered 1?

AccyLass · 03-03-2008, 12:55

I went to Wilfrid's while living in Accy, so it's do-able

flashy · 03-03-2008, 13:05

yeah i know its do-able and i'd of loved him to go to moorhead, i went there, its only one bus ride away, so its a possibility...wheres romps? i want a word with her

Well when zacks form came back saying he had got a place at Moorhead, there was a yellow form saying that if we were on Benifits, entitled to free school meals or on Highest rate of working tax credits, we would be eligible for travel costs!! So you could look into that, if you wanted him in Moorhead shaz.

i've just rung and spoke to romps, she's sorting out a form for me
sod our ladys, if i have to pay for travel costs i dont care i'll try and get him in at moorhead

Good, at least you know roughly what the school is like shaz. it's changed a lot since we were there, but, from what i could see, it was for the better.

onlyme · 03-03-2008, 13:33

Am dreading what will happen when I'm faced with the same predicament, think i might start saving now for a private one lol

Good luck, i hope you get the appeal

I think subsidised travel costs only apply if you live more than 2 or 3 miles from the nearest available school. There is an added complication here because it's a totally different education authority.
