Kent Test - 1 Mark - Glandular Fever
Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2008 12:40 am
My daughter just failed by 1 mark in the Kent Test (and all papers passed).
During the test she was unwell (supported by a doctors letter) which was later confirmed as Glandular Fever after the test was complete (supported by blood test / doctors certificate). This confirmation was received 2 days prior to the headteachers appeal and was submitted with full support of the headteacher.
The comments received from the "panel" did not mention this mitigating circumstance. We feel that they disregarded this evidence... and now we are consdering appealing... Do you have any advice on appealing as well as any actions we can take in the meantime against this potential unfairness.
We look forward to hearing your comments. Thanks
