Appealing on 120 in Bucks
Hope you can give me some advice. We have found ourselves in the position of having to appeal for our sons gs place as he scored 120/120. We have full support from the ht who ranked him as 2/2 before the test. Am i being naive in thinking that this is enough evidence of academic ability and therefore suitable for a gs education? or do i need to find extra evidence and if so where from? Please help thanks.

Re: Appealing on 120
Thanks for the links and found them useful.But is relying on the ht's acedemic evidence considered a strong enough case for success alone? Has any one had any experience of this? (By the way son is predicted high level 5's).

I wouldn't risk it myself - panels need to be persuaded the the 11+ results were not inddicative of your child's ability.
I understand that about 10% of children in Uppers have three level 5s ... so that in itself is not enough.
