Sorry if posting in the wrong area. Why would a school have a group appeal before going into individual appeals?
Because it's the best way of organising a multiple appeal.
http://www.elevenplusexams.co.uk/appeal ... -school#c1A question about the school case need only be asked once at a group hearing.
The alternative would be for it to be asked repeatedly (perhaps 20, 30, 40 times) at individual hearings.

And surely all people appealing for x school would have the same process?
Yes - all timely appellants would have been treated in the same way.

Or is the group appeal a way of filtering out cases deemed as not strong enough?
Only the case for the admission authority is discussed at the group hearing.

Only asking as I see that the school I am appealing for had a group appeal we were not invited to? Slightly confused!
You need to pursue this and ask why.
