WRITTEN APPEAL ON SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2009 6:30 pm
We have just had the results to say that our child has failed Urmston Grammar by 24 marks. Which is quite alot, however she missed the automatic review by 4!. I am seeking help on trying to put forward a case for an appeal - it's quite a long story.
June 08 I suffered from septacemia and it was touch and go - the children were told that I was going to die. I had to stay in hospital until the end of November because I had my legs amputated. I then had to go into a care home - because our house is not adaptable. We were finally reunited as a famiy in March 09 and are living in temporary accom.
My DD is the middle child and has been the mainstay of the family supporting our younger child both emotionally and physically - our DS was under 5 at the time.
Finally I think it became too much for her and as our family rejoined let everything go she has finally been diagnosed by the GP as suffering from Post Traumatic Stress and we are waiting for our child social services to come up with a consellor - the local primary schools don't offer "support".
Our DD was attaining high academic levels and at the end of May when she sat the end of year tests was at level 4a bordering on level 5.
The Headteacher supported us with a letter which was to be considered if she had faied by the 20 marks.
Does anyone think it worth while an appeal or would we be offering false hope and should concentrate on finding alternative schooling - the local girls high school is not the environment for her. I would just like some advice on how to write a written appeal- if anyone can help?
I have already posted this on the Trafford index.
