Will Burnham GS offer a place to someone living in Chiswick, London if DS scores 130+.......
What are the chances? Will appeal help, if refused.

The score is irrelevant if they score at least 121. Look at the allocation profiles - BGS often goes to "all offered" but has become more popular recently.

By May it had gone to 14.427 miles but the BCC website doesn't say what happened by September. I don't know how far away Chiswick is?

Thanks SM.
It is about 20 miles..........as we plan to shift residence, if he passes the test, will moving residence to Burnham/Langley by Jan-Feb 2013 help?

Moving by February is too late for allocation day. It would be a gamble on getting a late place.
