Rc School

rejection as school is over-subscribed. nephew is 6th on waiting list. his pre-school is a 'feeder' nursery to the school. sent in appeal request stating that he's of ethnic background which nursery has many others like him, so has the school altho' allocated school is all-white. all his friends have gained places too, but they are Catholic tho'.
anyone with exp on this who could advise me if my nephew stands a chance at the hearing?
my sister wanted him to go to the best school in the town, and his nursery has always been a very good. took him 3mths to settle in due to his nervousness, only child, health probs, but has made v good friends there. his only contact with others are his parents' and this nursery, and so it'll be hard for him to have a good transition if he were to go to an all-white school with no recognisable friends of his. i've stated 3 reasons on the appeal form:-
school has good ethos+values that he'll benefit from (discipline!, friendliness, kindness, integrity);
he's of ethnic origin, and this preferred school has multi-cultural understanding;
his friends are going there, so it'll be devastating for him to be separated from them.

i am writing this on behalf of my sister who's English isn't that good.

i know that it is very common for these popular schools to reject even the Catholics, so I do appreciate the bias that these schools need to take when they have non- Catholics applying. i am of the opposite opinion to my sister tho' on this matter as my own daughter went to an average school (out of catchment but wasn't over-subscribed tho') but i brought her up in a way where she was v curious about the world around her, thus, she had a thirst for learning and did v well in her schooling. it all depends on the child's ability to learn. yes, environment is important too, from the school, and their family as well.
there was never any doubt that there was any racial discrimination on the LA's refusal of a place for him. it was purely that it has the highest ranking in the league table for primary schools in that area (Somerset, UK)

Sadly Catholic schools are finding it difficult to place all the children that apply into their schools as there are so many of them applying.
They are good schools and in some cases even catholic children have difficulty in getting placed in their chosen schools. I am sure that they are not discriminating against against the child because of his/her ethnic background but if you feel that they are then you need to bring this up with the school board at the appeal hearing. The Catholic religious spreads throughout the world and encompasses all colours and nationalities and if discrimination is there then it is certainly very very wrong. We are all equal in the eyes of God. Good luck I hope you get the child in the school and God bless. I am not Catholic myself but my daughter is trying to get her son into a Catholic secondary school and she too has been told that the school is over subscribed. She is pressing on though by taking her son to Mass in a Catholic church which even the priest there says that the Orthodox religion is the basis of the Catholic religion and the original Christian religion.
