Hi Twellsmum, thanks for responding. Do you mind me asking which years you appealed for your sons and how close they were to passing? I know Tech took an extra class last year, so I'm assuming that means that they won't this year (which won't help our case!). Also, did you have strong backing from the primary school? We spoke to the headmaster on Friday last week and he said that he will back us if there is strong progress shown in Y6 (he didn't put him in for the headteacher assessment process).
As a note on the English, its always been really strong for him, I would have been less surprised if he'd failed on something else. There seem to be a lot of people in his boat this time round that have missed it on the English.
Hi I am in the same boat as you, missed it on English and headmaster will support us if strong progress in year 6.
I have also heard of lots who have missed on English. If you ever want to share tips or get together let me know x
