They also wanted to strongly discourage children from having to travel long distances to a KE Grammar school.
A good point.
You cannot challenge the admission arrangements (so long as they are lawful and have been correctly applied), but you could make this a main argument under the heading "Reasons for wanting a place".

I really appreciate all the responses I have received.
I will try and draft something without being complacent about the allocation process and trying to use the points that have been mentioned. I can see that the whole appeals process is incredibly stringent.
With it being the first time I am going through this process, at the time I had thought that the biggest hurdle was for my son to actually achieve the qualifying score!! After watching the open day videos and looking at the website, I had assumed that generally all cat 4 students are offered places but I know that there are no guarantees.
I hope I have a strong enough appeal.
Thanks again

Hello
I hope you don't mind me asking you what is your child's number on the waiting list? Im thinking Camp Hill doesnt have so much movement this year and I think my distance is further. Waiting very anxiously. Thank you and good luck

Hi,
I asked the Foundation Office last week and I have been told that he is now 5th on the waiting list. Have you enquired about your sons place on the waiting list?
