Christ hospital 13+ exam Appeal
Hello All,
I am pretty new to this forum. My son got a rejection letter from Christ Hospital School in horsham stating that he didn't make it in the second round of exam. We were not provided with the test score of how much he scored out of and how much they the school required. Can we appeal the decision as my son really wants to attend the school.
Any help will do
Many thanks
Mamdav

Welcome! 
According to the Independent Schools Council all schools must now have a published complaints procedure. Any concerns would have to be resolved through the school's own procedures, involving the head in the first instance and then, failing a satisfactory resolution, the governing body of the school.
Actually, though, your best course of action is probably to make a request to the school under the Data Protection Act:

The statutory appeals process applies to state schools only.Mamdav wrote:Can we appeal the decision
