Thanks Colmans...tbh they didn't ask much....how did dd feel about not passing....books currently reading.....impressed with dd levels of 5b ( started in sept with 1 level 3a and rest were level 4s) now in such a short space of time....commended her hard work and dedication...asked about hearing impairment etc....was she tutored.....I presented my case and then summing up ....really lovely panel of 1 lady and 2 men. Was over in about 25 mins and they put me at ease and listened to all my points. Mayfield Presenting officer was really kind too and helped my nerves. I felt it was stressful leading up to the appeal but the actual appeal was not as bad as I had expected it to be. Would do it all again as dd over the moon and to miss 5 marks is worth appealing for in my opinion. Just started my next dd on her 11 plus journey too...she sits it Sept 2016...thankfully though she is near level 5 in everything already in year 4....Mayfield had 46 appeals this year I was told. Xx
