watford grammar school, can we appeal
Posted: Tue Mar 05, 2013 10:14 am
My dd is currently 9th on wl for an academic place at WGSG. She wants us to try and get her in by any means possible As the dd of 2 doctors she has already expressed a wish to follow a scientific career and the evidence is that science subjects are far better taught in a single sex environment.
Also the west herts consortium allowed a number of children to sit the test at a later date ( 2 months later) without changing the test in anyway at all, despite the maths paper in particular being the talk of the playground afterwards. It is also noted that 9 children in watford depsite making late applications managed to get their 1st choice schools.
Do I need to apply under the freedom of information act to find out if any child who sat the test late was awarded an academic place and also if any of the late applicants got an academic place? do you think this is grounds enough for a appeal?
thank you
