Appeal!!!
Posted: Wed May 27, 2009 3:08 pm
Hi from a nervous mother!!
I hope someone can give me some reassurance as my son's appeal is on Monday 1st June.
I am so worried as I have been told the local Grammar School I am appealing for is over subscribed and boys who have passed the 11+ are on a waiting list.
My son gained a pass mark of 372 (pass mark being 360), but failed by 1 mark on his NVR paper. His scores were - MATHS 130 , VR 129 and NVR 113 (114 being the passmark).
It's so frustrating!!! Especially as other boys in his year were not in top sets, were not predicted a level 5 and not supported by the school. My son was all these things.
I am so scared I have no chance before I even set through the door. I am also worried as my son suffers from anxiety attacks which causes him to have a stomach migraine. He had this during 11+ time but has been discharged with no more symptoms since exams finished. He is however, anxious about the bus journey to the school we accepted. Do you think this will go against us? What does any one think?
Help!!!!
