Hi all

Is it worthwhile including all the educational and academic achievement evidence to an oversubscribed school Transfer Appeal (as per a non-qualification appeal)

or really just focus on why it's the right school for your child? and then how much of this has to be clearly objective as opposed to your (probably biased) subjective views.

Many Thanks for all your help

Dear OOCD

Academic evidence should not be relevant if the appeal is for oversubscription only.

However, some academic evidence would be relevant if you have an educational reason for appealing. For example, if part of your case is that the school specialises in science, then proof of your child's ability in science would be very useful (school reports, letter of support from the school mentioning aptitude for science, G&T register for science, etc.).
