Out of catchment
Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 6:54 pm
We live on the boarder to bucks and our primary school does not do any prep for the 11+ so we just did the familiarisation at home with him, probably not very well!
I understand that there is little grounds to use this as exceptional circumstances, however as we live out of area is it worth mentioning.
TK only achieved 110, we have fabulous school support with the head teacher marking him 1:1. his SATS at the end of year 5 scored:
maths 5b, reading 5c, writing 5c, science 5c.
His head teacher has written a letter supporting our appeal stating he has had little competition at his current school and would blossom in a grammar school system.
I note from previous posts that the lower the mark the more evidence is required. Is this academic or exceptional circumstances evidence.
Any help is most appreciated, especially as we are out of catchment.
