Have we all got Plan B's in place?

What are you going to do if you don't get your 1st choice?

After last year's experiences of friends of mine my advice for Plan B would be if your dc has passed the 11+ but not got their chosen grammar school - then appeal in the strongest possible way to the school of your choice - why it has to be that school. If they haven't got the 11+ then appeal to a school that still has spaces. That way you aren't having to fight on two fronts (over-sub and non-qualif) and can concentrate all your efforts on showing why the 11+ results are wrong in your dc's case. For boys I would appeal to Chatham Boys and to girls to Chatham Girls - both of which are not over-subscribed according to what a primary head told me.
Good luck to everyone for tomorrow.
