Re: Percentage of Upheld Bucks (non-qualification) Appeals

Post by Y6mum »

Are there any stats relating to what percentage of Buckinghamshire (against non-qualification) appeals were upheld BEFORE selection review came in?

I guess I'm just looking for signs of hope...

If this is Bucks then do note that I am aware of children with level 6 maths in Upper schools ... being level 6 is a factor but do look for others.

Scary mum helpfully makes the context clear:

Bucks GS Appeal form and evidence

Post by Y6mum »

We are about to submit our bucks grammar school appeal form, but don't yest have all the evidence we intend to put to the panel. For now we simply intend to fill out the form (which is quite simple) and in the Grounds for Appeal part, put 'see attached sheet' upon which we will state our 3 part case (as per the guide on this site). i.e.

1.) challenge FCO
2.) updated academic case (unfortunately no extenuating circumstances)
3.) reasons

Should we state now what evidence we intend to submit to support our academic case or just submit it later and just state that evidence will follow? This will be schoolwork, head's letter, (and possibly letters of non-academic support to indicate responsibility and breadth of interest etc.).

Is this the right approach?

I would just put "evidence to follow" as no one's going to look at your case yet, and there's nothing to be gained by including a list of what you think you might be sending in.
..... possibly letters of non-academic support to indicate responsibility and breadth of interest etc. ....... Is this the right approach?
Apart from this last bit, yes.
    • Non-academic extracurricular activities won't influence a panel’s decision.
      c) Letters of commendation from relatives, neighbours, club secretaries, sports coaches, private tutors and MPs won't impress!

      [Don't] tell the panel how much the school will benefit from having the child as a pupil (“This is a clever, responsible, hardworking pupil with numerous extra-curricular interests”!)
