What happens at a Selection Appeal?

Post by Lily-Jane »

Hi, I am a Bucks mum whose DD unfortunately missed qualifying by one mark (scores: 114 and 120). The school is wholeheartedly backing our appeal, but I am already nervous about what happens at the hearing. The headteacher seemed to infer that I will just need to answer questions, but the BCC advice booklet says that I will be expected to present my case. Can anyone give me some advice as to what will happen and what exactly they will expect from me (i.e. shall I prepare a 'speech')?
Thank you,
Lily-Jane

Thank you Sally Anne. I had trawled through the Appeals Q&A's but had missed that one.
