Advice on Buckinghamshire Selection review / Appeal
Posted: Mon Nov 04, 2019 3:37 pm
Hello Moderators
My son got 119.5 on Buckinghamshire 11 Plus entrance test and he is in SEN register (without ECHP) and diagnosed ICD-10 autism spectrum disorder at the age of 4 with delay in speech and attention deficiency.
We live in the catchment area of one of the Buckinghamshire grammar school and we have received below 'Selection review summary Sheet' from School headteacher.
he did several mock tests before the examinations an on average he was getting 75% and above but unfortunately some circumstantial issues during the Buckinghamshire VR exam caused him stress and obsessive.
Please advice whether we should go ahead with 'Selection review or appeal' ?
