As already stated by Yoyo books are taking for a whole variety of reasons, it doesn't necessarily mean they have been taken for appeal. In my experience the children I've known to have gone through the HT appeal process had their math, literacy and science books taken, not just one book.
We are all jumpy at the moment and can misread into things.
The other point is that if the child is put through appeal the positive aspect is that they must have been very close to passing and the school must think they have enough evidence of levels/work to present a good case.
This is obviously not helpful if you are applying to a super selective but many of us are not.

My daughter came home yesterday, to tell me that three of them were having to use paper today, because all their books were missing - and all 3 of them have taken the 11+.
I was very laid back about the results until now, but now I'm really anxious! I'm also a bit concerned because all of their year 5 work came home at the end of the year, so there's not much to go by.
Does anyone know whether it's simply the work put forward, or whether the head teachers get to put forward their view?

The waiting is horrible.
I think the September test is much better though.
When it was in January we didn;t find out until school allocation day and then appeals took ages. my son;s friend didn;t know where he was going untl very late in the term and all his friends were off to visit ther new schools. His mum couldn;t even buy uniform until the last minute.
At least this way you know before applying for secondary.
Not long now

Can anybody tell me if the 'missing books' have been returned yet? The children in DS's class who had their books taken have still not had them returned. DS has not had his books taken, so I'm jumping to conclusions that he is either a)ok and passed or, worryingly b) too far short of the pass mark to appeal for....
