Appeals process (Chelmsford)
Posted: Sun Jan 16, 2011 10:29 pm
Hi
My daughter did the eleven plus in Chelmsford in November
she, together with fourteen others were sat apart in a seperate classroom ( due to numbers )
They were told by the invigilator that they had to use scrap paper to do their workings on, instead of using the question booklet thus wasting time transferring data from one paper to the other and possibly increasing the chances of mistakes.
The rest of the children in the main hall were allowed to write on the question book.
The school has admitted to human error, and we have been told by the school we will have to take this to appeal if nescessary
My question is, if my daughter fails to achieve the pass mark for her 1st choice grammer school but is close to the pass mark for her 2nd choice grammer has the appeal committee got the authority to get her admitted to the 2nd school, despite the fact it was the 1st choice schools fault.
many thanks
