http://www.buckscc.gov.uk/media/2862625 ... y-List.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Unfortunately not.

She can of course appeal for a place, but the appeals system is so backed up due to the Review process pushing everything into the summer term that her case would be very unlikely to be heard before the start of the autumn term.

It is worth her taking a good read of the In-Year Admissions Guide, which is very helpful on the topic of moving school: http://www.buckscc.gov.uk/media/2862636/IY-Guide.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Bear in mind that even if BCC place her on a waiting list, there could be quite a few girls already on the list because only 5 offers were made after the 12+ this year: http://www.buckscc.gov.uk/media/3196047 ... 120615.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; There are 36 children somewhere in Bucks waiting for admission to Y8 across the 6 schools who still use central testing through BCC.
