Re: Appeal stats
i realise this is old data, but doesn't it add to the view expressed in the telegraph this week that summer babies are disadvantaged? More than twice as many successful appeals if you we're born in sept/oct/nov than in June/jul/aug?Dad40 wrote:For those who entered grammar school in Sept 2011 as a result of a selection appeal (by birth month)......

Re: Appeal stats
maybe more kids with autumn birthdays appealed? Maybe actually higher percentage of summer kids were successful... we need the denominator1
Re: Appeal stats
