Hi all,

I am writing to try and gat some advice with regards to spalding high school, this is a grammer school for all girls. Has anyone had any experience of appealing for this school.

My daughter failed her 11+ by four points, we are going to appeal on the week begining 10may and I am really nervous, she has good predicted grade in school, currently

Math was predicted a 4 however her very recent test for sets/practice sats were 1 mark of a 5b her literacy was a 5 and science a 5.

any help would be great also. my daughter wears glasses however it was founf that she has not been wearing them in school since september we have discussed this with her and I have a letter from her options explaining that she need to wear these for any reading as she is long sited, I am unsure weather to out this in the appeal.

Further to this I went and veiwed her papers last week and she did exceptional in the second paper and not so well in the first, it clearly indicated that a lot of her proble was with spelling and not with understanding and she was showing how she worked the answers out, since this I have looked at her schol work and it terrable, school have not really picked this up or it is not being addressed, it this going to hinder her appeal do you think?
