Appeal to come..
Hi Hope you can help. Its highly likely that we will have to appeal for a Grammer place come early March. We have support from the head teacher and class teacher but the Head teacher appeal was not sucessful. Our DD score was NVR: 138, VR:123 and maths: 113. Her end of year results at end of Y5 were 4b/4a for maths and english 5. We think Y6 sats will be good. Our reason for worry is the gossip on the street is that because so many have done 11+ this year that the above may have been sucessful last year but much harder this year. She is a summer baby so the articles in the Times dont help our worry factor. She is a keen learner but has no other special talents say Music etc. But is feeling very left out by her sucessful peers ( all of them autumn children!) Your feedback would be welcome.

The pass mark for the kent test was 360, her total mark was 374! but Maths had to be 114! So you can see our frustration. She was tutored but I have to say we were fairly laid back about it as we didnt want to 'force' her ability. We'd had her assesed in Yr 4 and told that she was more than capable. We also know that had we lived in 'Kent' and not Bromley borough the tests would have been spread out over a couple of days and not 4 papers in one morning! I do think that's tough for them all especially the younger ones. JC
