non-selective: worth an appeal?

Thanks for all guidance. Do you know how many places are set aside for review cases ?

Trawling through all the info we've been given in the Admission to secondary school booklet and the pages sent out with the test results it seems that those of us going to review are chasing the 2% left. That is, top 25% get the grammar places: 23% of those are allocated after stage one (Medway test), a further 2% after the review stage.

Two points: The Medway admission booklet states forms should be returned to child's school, but request form R1 states return them to the Admissions Office. Either will do! However, to help school give them advance notice in either case to assist them in selecting work by Monday!

A previous posting by me stated attachments to Form R1 were returned last year as not acceptable. True, but this year form R1 refers to attachments, so they they now are clearly acceptable.
