My daughter got 119 in both papers. Head expected her to pass and will support the appeal. He had her ranked 19th (year group of 61) and gave her a 2:1.
I am just putting together my letter and wonder if anyone knows if I should state that she didn't have any professional tutoring (although don't I regret that now!!!).
Not sure why you think 25% of this particular year group should qualify.
Around 30% of those entered for the Bucks 11+ qualify, but that's an overall figure. In any particular school the success rate could be anything, depending on the calibre of the year group.
Guest that will help your appeal! If she waws expected to pass and others below her did then that might persuade an appeals panel that the result is a blip.
