What are the 3 strongest points I can put forward which could make an appeal successful?

Strong academic evidence is the key.

May I suggest you read the extensive detail in the thread by Etienne?

this is all the info about appeals

Sorry this is for Primary School appeal.

.

Thanks. I have been through all the information and made some notes which I will add to my appeal.

Would it be possible to contact Etienne directly for some advice regarding the appeal?

No unfortunately it is not possible to do that, it is better to post on this thread if possible (I will change the name to make it clear that it is your thread) and advice will be given wherever possible.

if there is confidential / sensitive info then you can send that to the appeals box as per the FAQ and this post viewtopic.php?f=35&t=8255

OP - it would he be helpful if you could post which year group ( KS1 appeals are notoriously difficult unless the PAN is below 30), what the PAN is, whether there are siblings at the school, whether there are any other schools with capacity to take your DC near to home and if so why they would not be suitable ( and more importantly why the school you are appealing for is the only one that would be suitable) ? Also any SEN needs and whether only this school can meet those needs? Also are there any faith criteria?

By answering these questions the strongest arguments for your appeal may fall into place.

Welcome!

Very happy to help with a primary appeal, but as Twinkle points out, we need more information from you.
