**Is there any chance of DD getting into DGGS through appeal process, as DS already is in DGS( although sibling policy only applies to sister in school)? Will evidence of both going to and fro from school together, help with the appeal, as schools are beside each other?
It would be nice, and it would be convenient - but how would you turn this into a compelling argument?
See the Q&As:
"How do I argue against the fact that my preferred school is oversubscribed?"

DD's attainment in year 5 are as follows:-
Reading:- At expected level.
Writing:- Above expected level.
Mathematics:- Above expected level.
Are these strong enough evidences to win at the appeal? Or I need much more?
How far above the expected level?
More evidence is likely to be needed, I would suggest.

"What academic evidence might I need?"

Pls note we have recently just moved into catchment, so in the process of moving her primary school to a school beside the house through appeal also, as little sibling already in school. Would this move affect the secondary school appeal, just in case she is offered a place in the new primary school.
I hope this isn't an infant class size appeal?
https://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/appea ... aneous#e31It would be logistically convenient to have the children close together, but just how prejudicial would any alternative arrangement be? Might the consequences be so severe as to outweigh the prejudice to the school if it is required to cope with an extra pupil?
Lots of reading to do.
