You don't need all these things, but the more the better!

Thanks Etienne for all the help offered by you and other forum members. Really appreciate it.

I am meeting his Head today. Will discuss these with him.

Etienne, spoke to his Head and he is writing his report proving his academic credentials as per the your suggestions here - http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/11plus ... rs.php#b11

So apart from the academic evidence, and our argument of the stress he had to face of attending the VR Test during his school exams and commute a considerable distance for the VR Test, do you suggest we need to get anything else?

Thanks for your help.

Etienne is (I believe) away today.

Obviously school reports should be submitted, provided they are up to scratch. If any of his current teachers are willing to write letters that focus on his ability (not what a nice boy he is) they could also help. English, Maths and Science should be the priorities, and any other academic subject in which he excels.

Has he done any CATs tests or other non-curriculum based ability tests?

Thanks Sally-Anne.

Will try and include as many letters from his subject teachers as possible.

Hope things work out for him (and for us).

Turbovin - the head has commented on your son's CAT scores. What are they exactly, and are they being submitted as evidence?

Have sent an email in the appeals box.

Thanks

I find this worrying. Anything over 100 is above average, but the comparison needs to be with what grammar school pupils would be expected to achieve (we're probably talking about scores that should be in the mid-120s, especially for VR).

The rest of what the head has written is all right. Whether it will be enough, I'm not sure.

Thanks Etienne. Will try and talk to him again and find out.
