"Got a phone call on Thursday saying, 'Oh, we haven't heard about Buster and his school place and if he wants it and the deadline is today?'

"But I did then go back and read the letter, but because I was so overwhelmed and happy that we didn't have to appeal, I just failed to store the information in my brain.
"So he nearly lost his place in the school and the schools around where we live are so difficult to get into, so I don't know what I would have done."
Beating herself up over the miscommunication, Charley branded herself a "terrible" parent after confessing that she even forgot to apply for her son, Bowie, to attend primary school.
