Successful appeal - do I need to inform the High School?

Post by HelenW »

:D

We have heard that our appeal for our preferred Grammar School was successful - great rejoicing!!

Do I need to write to the High School where we'd accepted the offered place to let them know?

I don't know if you have to, but it would be really helpful for all of us on the waiting list.
Yipee, up one place :D

Congratulations :D
Yes one place closer, maybe one less appeal for us to be up against! Sorry we all sound like piranahs :lol:
We all really need to hear news like this. What school did you get??
Anyone else with a place at SHS appealing elsewhere? Just feels like no movement on the cards!!

Thanks All :)

We're in Medway and the school we've won our appeal for is Rainham Mark. The High school in question is the Bishop of Rochester Academy, which I don't believe is oversubscribed anyway :wink:

Fast appeal process?? Do you really think so?? The schools places were allocated on March 1st and we had to wait until last week for the appeal hearing - it took a week to get the result... :? Maybe that's quick but it certainly didn't feel like it to us!! :lol:

I'll need to let Chatham Grammar for Boys know as well - one less appeal to be heard there now if that helps anyone :D

This might just be the start of more movement, now the appeal decisions are starting to come through.
