I've never come across this locally.
Are they retired teachers?
The term "educational consultant" is misleading, and I'm really not sure why, or in what context the term was used here. I'm guessing that the word was used to differentiate him from being an actual member of the school staff.

The more normal terminology is "Local Authority Representative" or "LA Rep" (where the LA is the Admissions Authority), or "School Rep" (where the school is its own Admission Authority, which AHS is beyond Y7).

In Bucks, LA Reps are almost invariably retired Primary Heads who are employed on an ad hoc basis to present the authority's/school's case.

As the OP has chosen to delete many of her forum posts wholesale this morning, I have locked this thread.

Thank you to all the members who have given up their time to try to support her. It is unfortunate that one or two alternative perspectives on her situation were apparently unpalatable to her.

We wish her DD the best, whatever the outcome of the appeal.
