Question for Etienne

Etienne,
Just out of curiosity and to help me sleep tonight. Do most of the parents have the same appeal evidence. Level 5 predictions, Top 25%, High previous VRT, etc...
I know at some point I have to accept that every case is different and I just have to wait and see what happens, but it helps to know just how good my evidence will be.

I can't thank you enough for your help.

Dear Kristin

No, there are lots of permutations! If you remember to include the 11+ scores, the comments on the headteacher's summary sheet, the order of suitability, the year 5 report, etc., no two cases are ever the same.

There are a limited number of cases that are so overwhelmingly strong they are bound to succeed. There are rather more cases that are so weak they stand no chance. Most cases come in between these two extremes!

Best wishes

Hi Kristin

Just wanted to say I completely identify with what you are going through and what a sanity saver this website is. Good luck with your appeal, I hope it goes ok.
