Appeal yesterday
Posted: Wed Jan 31, 2007 7:03 pm
Hi all
We had our appeal yesterday and I have to say the occasion was made more bearable by the panel members, the LEA rep and the clerk. They tried to put us at our ease and were all very polite. The chairman told us he had been sitting on these panels for 10 years, so I felt he was very experienced. They asked quite a few questions, none of which I thought were odd or unreasonable. I could see their reasoning for asking for certain things to be clarified. One panel member, who was a teacher, seemed very interested in what books my daughter was reading and I was pleased that I had plenty to talk to her about.
We are now waiting for the outcome.
Good luck to anyone who still has their appeal to come. It really wasn't as arduous as I had imagined.
