Dear lucy
I think it is correct that there is no right to sit the 11+ again this year. Some authorities will offer a 12+ next year, but others will not.
Normally there is just the one appeal against non-qualification at 11+. However, the ombudsman could require a re-hearing if he thought there was an injustice in the original appeal. Also, in exceptional cases, the admission authority might agree to a re-hearing if significant new evidence became available that was not available at the time of the original appeal, and could not reasonably have been provided then.
Appeals against oversubscription at a particular school are different in that parents can appeal for a place once every year.
