I have a problem. My son failed his 11 plus by 3 marks but is in the unusual position of studying maths, physics and chemistry at AS level although he is only 11. His brain just does not work in the way the tests need it to.
I have appealed including a letter of support from the maths department of the University of Kent where he is taught maths. I also have a letter from one of Kent County Council's education consultants confirming that in his view he is working at AS level as a year 7 student. I have also thrown in some examples of his wor
The real problem is that of the alternative schools one does not teach beyond GCSE and the other seems to be at capacity. The grammar I want his to go to has places.
Is this going to be enough or do I risk overkill? KCC did not itself seem able to offer any advice on what to include in the appeal.
If anyone can offer any guidance then I would be so grateful. I just want him in a school where he can develope but at the same time also be a normal kid.
