11 Plus Exams Forum

Hi everyone!

Just got SHF case papers for the forthcoming appeal. The LEA says that as of 15 June 2009 they offered 31 places for year 8 entry- 1 for sibling and the other 30 that live up to a distance of 5.09 miles. So we don't stand much chance anyway - as although we are in catchment, and SHF is one of only 2 catchment grammars, we are being penalised for being too far away from the school. And apparently 23 children are appealing for 12+ places at SHF. And we have found out (by their error) that 4 people are applying for places in yeaar 9 for SHF.

Unhappy......

Hi dejavu,

how do you know the number of pupil appealing? Was the info in the pack?

Thanks

No, it wasn't in the pack. I got my husband to do something - now he is actually back in the country, for once- and phone up admissions. A friend told us they would have to tell us the number of appeals.

Rash - I thought you were all sorted with places - and at least have a grammar school place - unlike us!

I do wish you well -

I wonder if all places were accepted or if some have appeals for other schools ...
