Hope someone can help. My DD scored 230 on Tiffin girls and is 3 points off pass mark. 19 on waiting list.
We were living overseas until August this year when we had to suddenly return due to an illness in the family. My DD had no school and no home to move into, (tenants in ours who had to be served notice). My husband had to stay overseas to work his notice. We stayed in hotels, with family and moved 4 times in the 3 months leading up to the exam.My DD had no personal items, we lived out of suitcases until our goods arrived 1 week before exam.
Obviously a very stressful time for the whole family but particularly for my DD who had to start yet another new school and change into a new education system. All of these caused extreem anxiety for her.
Prior to leving UK she had a psychologist report for VR and NVR for entry into school overseas. She scored on the 99.7th percentile.
Do I have a case based on the amount of disrubtion caused in the 3 months leading up to the exam? I felt her score was excellent as she had not been exposed to these types of questions until a few weeks before the exam.
