Patricia/Etienne - urgent
Posted: Mon Jun 19, 2006 11:09 pm
Hello,
Firstly thank you very much for your replies in May. Secondly I appologise for the delay in responding. My original query was on Appeals. I tried to replay on that 2 weeks ago but must have made a mistake in posting as I can not track my qquestion.
Anyway, aparently my freind's daughter got a mark of 117 for 13 plus and not 113 as I quoted originally. Etienne, I have looked the advise given on 'appeals' section - thankyou.
We feel we have a strong case because -
1) a sibling is already offered a place
2) child has a very strong report from current school
3) child was under presure as family had to fly abroad straight after her exam on the same day as family member was not well
4) taking the exam later was not a possibility
5) child was also taking GSCE earlier, and had piano exams
6) sending the child from private to secondary will disadvantage her education
7) child needs to be in same school as sibling due to possible health condition of sibling (though the doctors are reluctant to give this in writing)
Please can you advise on this matter - any help will be much appreciated. Especially any questions that the panel is likely to ask.
Many thanks,
Jackie
