I don't think these are really 'official' results. It would probably be more accurate to say that your son is already working at these levels (or reached this standard in optional year 5 tests).

Completely untrue. Everyone has the right of appeal if they need it - there are no conditions.

There might be a better chance of a successful appeal with level 5 predictions, but an appeal panel will consider each case on its merits and look at the totality of the evidence. See http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/appeal ... cation#b11" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
for factors that an appeal panel might wish to take into account when arriving at a decision.

(To sit the late selection test for 12+ and 13+ entry in Bucks, there is a requirement for level 5 in both Maths and English at Key Stage 2, if your child has previously taken the Bucks 11+, and assuming he attended a school which did KS2 SATs.)


Hope this helps
