Appeals for a place at GS

Post by Irina123 »

Dear all

I would like to ask if any of you had to go through the appeal process.
My DD took the exam on the 14th of September and we are not quite sure whether she will qualify or not. In the eventuality of not qualifying I thought I might appeal. I don't want to panicked then so I am asking for your help.
I have read some post about it. I have a few questions though:
How long after the result you need to appeal?
Is there any form to be filled?
Where to send it?

Thank you in advance!

Have a look at the threads in the Appeals section on this forum. In short, you would have to name a GS on your CAF which goes in towards the end of October, then you have to wait until national allocations day in March where you would be rejected by the GS and that then triggers your right to appeal. Sorry on phone and struggling to link the correct thread but work your way through the appeals section and of you have specific questions after that, ask on here.

Have a look too at "How to appeal for a Bucks GS place 2017" near the top of the Bucks forum.

The arrangements for the coming year are likely to be more or less the same.

Hope this helps.

OP - are you clear about the difference between a review and an appeal?

If you get the 'did not qualify for a GS' result then you might wish to ask which route might be better for the evidence you have.

Thank you all for the replies.
Guest55 you are quite right! What I am after is in the eventuality of not qualifying .also presuming that she has a score that we can appeal.
Appeal -evidence to back up her ability .
When do we need to gather the evidence and when will the appeal take place?
Thank you

The really important thing is you've found this forum. Etienne is 'the best' and you do need to work out which route is the better to go for.

Broadly, if you have loads of academic evidence, don't miss by much and the Head is supportive then a review moght be sensible - it's a paper exercise though.

If your evidencs is complex and the school are not 100% supportive then an appeal might be the right route.

Wait till you get the results and then post in the 'appeals' section if you need to.
