If your behavior has come into question, then it can be tempting to defend yourself by comparing your behavior to that of your coworkers or other employees. However, not only does this look bad on you, but it can also create a rift in your team or department.
This question gives you a great opportunity to ask your manager for additional support in your job, provided that you frame your answer to this question well. The chances are that your manager is already asking this question to find out what areas you need to improve on, so make sure to use this to highlight what you want to work on.
Most of the time, this feels like a trick question. However, managers genuinely want to know what their employees are passionate about and interested in, so in the future, they can assign you work that they know will work to your strengths.
We know that it can be very upsetting for you and your child if you have not got a place at the school that you preferred but there are a number of things that you can do to try and change the situation. These are outlined below.
Remember that you do not have a right to choose a particular school for your child - you have a right to express a preference. If your preferences cannot be met, because other children had higher priority for the school than your child, the local authority will offer your child a place at an alternative school. This could be at a school that you did not even apply for. This can be very frustrating but it is how the system works.
If you are allocated a school that is over the statutory walking distance (2 miles for under 8 years old and 3 miles for over 8 years old) contact the local authority and ask what arrangements they will make for transport. This may not apply if the school is one of your preferences.
It is best to contact your local authority Admissions Department with any initial queries that you may have about school places. They will advise you on whether you need to contact the school directly or whether they can help you. Please bear in mind that Admissions Departments will be very very busy over the next few weeks and may not be able to give you all the information you want quickly. They will need to wait for all parents to accept or reject their school offers before they know where places are available or what waiting lists look like.
Ask to add your child's name to the waiting list for any school that you applied for but did not get offered a place. This may happen automatically but it is always worth checking that it has been done. Waiting lists are sometimes called Continued Interest Lists. Your child's name can be on more than one waiting list at the same time.
You could also ask the Admissions Department if you could add your child's name to the waiting lists for schools that you did not apply to before but would consider now. The more waiting lists you are on the more chance you have of getting a place at a school you prefer.
Find out what your position is on the waiting list. You could also ask how many children were admitted from the waiting list last year, this may help to give you some idea of how likely you are to get a place this way. It may take a while for the waiting list to be compiled and you may have to wait a few weeks after offer day for this information. There will be lots of movement on waiting lists from offer day right up until term starts in September. There will be many children who get alternative school places allocated this way.
NOTE: Be aware that your child can also move down a waiting list if other children join the list who have greater priority. Priority will be based on the school's oversubscription criteria.
There may be vacancies at other schools that you did not include on your original list of preferences. Very popular, oversubscribed schools will not have vacancies at this stage but it may be worth looking at any alternatives that are available locally.
At an appeal, the school will present their case for why they cannot take any extra children and why it would be bad for the school if they had to admit more children. You then present your reasons for why your child must go to this school even though it is full and why it would be bad for your child if they had to go to a different school. Try to to support your case with evidence if you can. The appeal panel listen to both cases, ask questions and then decide which case is stronger. If you are successful your child will be given a place at the school even though it is already full.
You can present whatever reasons you want at an appeal but you are unlikely to win an appeal if your case is simply that you prefer one school to another or that you think one school is better than another. You will need to set out a case that shows why your child must be at this school and only this school and why it would be bad for them if they weren't. This is not easy as most schools generally do the same the same things and most schools can support most needs. You will need to focus on your child and their particular needs. You will need to try and find evidence to support your case - this could be letters or statements from relevant people involved with your child and/or your family.
The panel will take into account the information that was available to the admission authority at the time it made its decision to refuse your application. If you introduce new information about your child and your circumstances at your appeal hearing, the panel may not be able to take this information into account, as the admission authority were not aware of it at the time they made their original decision.
Note: If you are appealing for a place in an infant class that does not have 30 pupils - for example a small school may only have 21 children in Reception class - the appeal will be heard differently and the panel will treat it as a non-infant class size appeal (see 3.1). Make sure you find out from the school exactly how your appeal will be handled.
You must be given 20 school days to lodge an appeal so you have time to consider what you could include in your case. ACE produces a parent advice booklet called Appealing for a school which explains the appeals process and helps you to put your case together. This is available as a pdf download. 2ff7e9595c
