Well dd didn't get in to Gainsborough QEHS. Live in Saxilby, what do we do now?

I'm really not sure we have grounds t o appeal if admission criteria has been applied correctly (distance)

No we didn't either Binka. I knew there was only a slim chance, but I'm still gutted especially with what I found out about people renting in the town purposely and DD scored really high, so any which admit on scored she would have walked!

Binka,

There are some statistics about appeals for QE Gainsborough in a sticky at the top of the Lincolnshire section.

Poor Stocky - the stress must be bad as I seem to recall that you provided some of the information in that sticky!

cut off distance this year for anyone who's interested is 12.608 miles, we live 13.02 miles from the school and are 4th on the reserve list. Not holding my breath. Will read the sticky.

I've just had an email too - cant believe its that close this year - its never been that close, worst was 12.8 3 years ago. We're 10th on the reserve list so I had better crack on with the appeal!
