Appeal paperwork

[T12ACY]

It's scary what people believe gets them into a school of their choice.

I know three teachers who believe that, because they work in education, they can get their child into the school of their choice - contacts you know

Same here, but only 1.... who had help completing her appeal from the HT of the school she was applying to. Totally not right but they are friends and the HT is moving on to a new school in September, so that's ok then

Well we won our first appeal but have put that down to a trial run in preparation for the much more important appeal tomorrow.

If the timings and post is the the same we should know by Friday, i feel the need to offer the clerk a first class stamp

[frustrated]

Well done on winning your first appeal, Fluffy!

[panicattack!]

Well done Fluffy 66 on winning your appeal. Congrats and good luck for tomorrow...

[Fluffy66]

Thankfully we have won our second and far more important appeal. I now know my DS will be in the very best place for his sec education, as he has been for his primary education.

I'm so glad its all over feel like we have been living on a knife edge for at least a year.

Mods you may feel the need to edit this bit.......but, in our opinion, we had the most fantastic proffesional help (from the other web site) and i feel we would not have got through this without that help. For me personally i had the confidence that we were going in the right direction. Yes we have forfeited our family holiday for this and a EP report but it has secured our family stability and there is no price for that.

As a side note .... if not edited i will not be entering into any debate on the subject this is strictly in our experience

Gosh hope i don't sound to opinionated or snotty

Glad that you had a happy ending Fluffy

Congratulations Were we appealing for same school i wonder????

[Fluffy66]

Bec1...... think you've got a DD and my DS is going to an all boys GS Not that my DS would notice a girl anywhere in his sight - they don't seem to feature just yet

Now that its sunk in i just feel so relieved we can get on with normal life. I see Bundie has won today too.

Is there anyone else out there still waiting on their outcome i wonder T12acy you are

Will have to try and restrict myself to checking the website once a day my DH thinks theres no reason to keep checking in now

I do have one more dilema though ..... i'm trying to work out what cool and whats not for sec school as my DS is not good at that. At the mo he is still insistant that he is wearing shorts to GS We've replaced the Bart Simpson lunch bag with a tupperware tub. Anything else i should be looking out for

[T12ACY]

LOL - Fluffy yes I am due to attend a further appeal but not for another week, then a week or so to wait I guess

I would suggest a sports branded or 'animal' rucksack. Y'day I got one for DS2 with padded shoulders, like a mini hiking bag as the books are so heavy! Agree shorts are a very big no no, don't think they actually form part of a GS uniform or at least not ours
