Unsuccessful Appeal
Moderators: Section Moderators, Forum Moderators
Dear catlover
Yes, you really do need to wait for the notes as they are the only hard evidence of what was said.
For example:
a) If you believe an inappropriate comment was made during the question and answer session, it will help to know exactly how this was recorded by the clerk.
b) If you believe that the panel gave insufficient attention to a particular piece of evidence, you need to see whether the evidence was mentioned either in the chair's summing up (after you left the room) or in the panel's reasons for their decision.

Unsuccessful Appeal
We still haven't got a copy of the notes from appeal. Spoke to County Council yesterday, who said they went in first class post on Friday. Have just phoned them again, as have not come in today's post and they've agreed to put another copy in the post.
Having sat with the result for a few days now, we still intend to follow it through. Naturally we're giving serious thought to other options. DD is at at an out of county school and if she isn't going to a GS we would like her to go to the comprehensive in the same town as her out of county school. I think we're going to find it difficult (but hopefully not impossible) to get her in. I'm beginning to get a few draft notes together for this appeal. Etienne / Sally Anne, Could I send these through to AppealsBox, wasn't sure if they were out of scope of this forum?
Any other thoughts gratefully received ...

Dear Etienne and Sally Anne
I have now had the notes through from our appeal and have revised the letter that I would like to send in line with notes, which I've sent to AppealsBox. I do think the letter goes on too much and accept that it probably needs cutting and would much appreciate your advise. I included everything possible in the letter and accept that to have maximum effect, it may be appropriate to cut some of it out.
Do you want me to scan the notes from the appeal and send them across to the appeals box too?
Many thanks and look forward to hearing from you.

Hi
We are in a very similar situation as you,My daughter's results were 118 and 119 she had also burned her leg a few day's before the first test and was in alot off pain and not her usual self.
The appeal hearing was terrible they made it blatantly
obvious that they had made there decision before we even got there.
They were quite rude and had no interest in my daughters ability.
After reading this thread i am also going to complain about there decision and go the ombudsman.
