Hello, unfortunately I don't know much about the school you are appealing for however, very much aware that Birmingham have a terrible reputation for not allowing appeals to go through. There record is 5.8% out of the national average 22%.
Do think that their must be something wrong with the way they conduct appeals or maybe a culture that they are just use to. I have my appeal on Friday and have never been this stressed in my life.

Hello, I don't know much about your school and can't offer advice regarding it. But Birmingham is none for not upholding appeals and they seem to be quite proud of it. 5.8% of appeals are upheld compared to the national average 22%. However, one would argue is there a culture that has developed within the institute and not been addressed. I have my appeal on Friday and have to say I have never been stressed in my life.

We'll close this thread as we're not sure it helps to respond two years after the event!
