2018/2019 Bucks appeal stats, bit confused?
Can someone please help me with the below stats
According to the info on the BCC website more appeals were successful after having a failed review.
What am I missing here? shouldn't it be the other way around?
Results of 2018/19 appeals (Bucks)
Number Heard Number successful % Successful
Unqualified grammar school, year 7, after selection review 185 28 15
Unqualified grammar school, year 7, with no selection review 74 2 3
TIA

I was going to say that I thought the first figure was simply reviews on their own, but on a second look that's not how it reads. Sally-Anne may know more. It seems to be a very low number of successful appeals for those who didn't go for a selection review. (In fact I'm surprised how few appeals for GS there were).

Presumably this means that a large number of reviews were not FCO.In 2018, 15% of grammar school appeals, where there had been a Selection Review were successful. Where there had not been a Selection Review, 3% were successful.

Sorry, my original post wasn't set out as the preview showed! it was a lot better organised with headings in the correct place!
I searched for 2017/2018 appeal stats and it's much the same, around 14% successful after a failed review and only 1 out of 54 successful after going straight to appeal, so less than 1%.
I was under the impression that it was sometimes better to bypass the review and go straight to appeal but these stats indicate otherwise.
I also thought that maybe quite a few were not FCO but that to me highlights a flawed review system?
My friend brought this to my attention as her DCs review was unsuccessful.

Whereas one assumes the strongest cases will nearly always opt for a review, it's possible that a significant number of cases that went straight to appeal were on the weaker side, and that parents were hoping for more evidence as Y6 progressed.scary mum wrote:It seems to be a very low number of successful appeals for those who didn't go for a selection review.
They would have avoided FCO this way, but - even if successful in appealing against non-qualification - would have had to overcome oversubscription/prejudice.
There may also have been children moving into the area after reviews, whose primary schools were unfamiliar with a selective system and didn't provide the sort of evidence needed for appeal purposes.
