Hello,
This is the topic, sorry I thought it was from you. It was very useful to see what the key facts of a successful or unsuccessful review are. It's just a bit out of date.
Interesting thread, but of course we get just a snapshot of each case.
In some instances we don't know what the attainment was in Y2-Y5 for each of reading, writing & maths, or the predictions for Y6. (Note that in other cases the review was unsuccessful
because the prediction of level 5s wasn't credible. Hence this information must have been critical.)
We don't know in every case what the headteacher recommendation was, or how reliable. (Another piece of critical information.)
"Multi-lingual" - not necessarily an extenuating circumstance.
"Siblings at grammar school" - why relevant?
"Strong NFER scores" - how strong?
I think it can be difficult to judge someone else's case without seeing all the paperwork, including how the headteacher worded the school's support. (In the case of an appeal, one would also need to know exactly what was said at the hearing!)
It's a small sample, but my other observation is the number of "unsuccessful" review cases that went on to be successful - either in terms of level 5s, or at appeal, or at 12+ entry.

Promising.

At selection review, do you know if the panels will know how to interrupt an EP report. I have been told at appeal an EP is consulted when a report is included as evidence
An EP is
not consulted at an appeal, but a review panel
does have access to an EP where appropriate.
How much weight a review panel might give to an EP report as
academic evidence (compared with an appeal panel) is an open question.
