Help local boy go to local school

Ben is a young boy from Belfast due to start school in September. We put our local school (as his 2 sisters already attend) along with surrounding schools as the choices for placement. Ben didn't get a place in any of these schools.

We received a letter to inform us of the decision which was apparently due to not enough places at these schools along with a list of schools that may be able to offer him a place some as far away as downpatrick.

We feel our son should be able to attend our local school here in lagmore as we have lived in the area for many years and had wanted our kids to be able to attend the same school.

We already have our oldest son at a different school due to having autism and this is very hard on our family. If Ben was to be sent to another school things would be made so much harder for us.
