letter from pupil?

[confused mum bucks]

I am interested to hear what the other forum members think of this suggestion which came from the dep Head at a primary where they held a meeting for parents considering appealing. It was that you may like to include a personel letter to the panel from your son/daughter?? My gut instinct says no, but as it came from an 'inside source' and one who is apparently very supportive of appealing parents(!) I thought I'd float the idea?.

Thank you, confused mum!

I would strongly advise against a letter from the child. The panel would never know how much input the parents had had, but the assumption would be that parents had suggested, scrutinised and checked it!

It would not be valid evidence and I do not think the panel could attach any weight to it.
