A Little Help Please....
Hi, Ive just registered for the forum as my child has recently failed their 11+ exam. My child Head teacher has appealed against it but that has also failed.
I`m just wondering what my options are now, as my child has their heart set on going to a grammar school.
thank you for any advice

Thanks Bisky
presumably this was a headteachers review?
are you still able to appeal to a panel yourself?
What sort of scores did your DC get?

Re: A Little Help Please....
Thank you for your reply. Yes it was Headteachers review. Yes weve been told we can appeal. Scores were as follows :
I really appreciate the help.Outcome of Grammar Selection Tests
Standard score test 1 : 123
Standard score test 2 : 112
Total score 235
Required Grammar school standard : 236
Referral to Independent Assessment Board : Yes
Outcome of Independent Assessment Board : Not Grammar
Note that referral to the Independent Assessment Board is at the discretion of the primary school headteacher.

Provided there is a realistic possibility of her gaining a place at your preferred school (or perhaps of winning an over-subscription appeal?), you need to start by reading the Appeal Q&A's, here: http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/appeals" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
In the meantime it helps if you can give us further information - predicted SATs, and CATs or other test results, general level of school reports, any extenuating circumstances, etc. For confidential information there is a facility to send that to us by email instead of posting on the forum: http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/forum/ ... =35&t=9907" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
There is more general guidance about how we can help you via this forum here: http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/forum/ ... =35&t=8255" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
