Congratulations!

Wow that was a lot of appeals they let through - have they done that in the past?

They generally let 10 through as the school state that they can take this many extra. 17 was a real surprise and I can't imagine that the school will be too happy about the numbers.

Maybe with 17 above the PAN, could we be looking at an extra class this year. After all, it is a peak year for admissions and the school role should drop from this point. Otherwise they are looking at two classes with 32 children and three with 31. Historically they dont go above 150 pupils in year 7. I look foreward to meeting Sams mum at parents evening, probably wont cycle there though! Strangely, saw another parent waiting before the appeal, positive we recognised each other but was too focused on performance to speak. Anyway, hope you got through.

Look forward to meeting you too.

Don't think they'll have an extra class, but you never know. DS is at Judd and they have 31 or 32 in a class due to successful appeals - bit of a squash but they seem to manage.

However, MGS did have an extra class a couple of years ago due to large number of appeals and then took extra from waiting list to make up the numbers. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I dare say, like us, you're just delighted to have a place!
