Hi I am looking for help for appealing to TWBGS as my son missed out on the 11 plus by 3 points.
Deputy head seems very helpful and positive but teacher not so much. She has only taught my son for 4 weeks and he passed all his mock 11 plus tests with 80 percent for maths and 60 percent for English and 70 percent for reasoning.
What academic evidence do I need? Should I keep working with him to get him to the best level possible.
Also ds suffers terribly from anxiety could it be worth pursuing this avenue?
Welcome to Appeals!

You should certainly consider how your son would cope with the pressures of grammar school, but you could keep your options open by appealing in March. (No need to tell him!)
Appeals do not take place until the summer term, so you have time to see how he develops in Y6.
You are free to withdraw your appeal at any time.
