Please could you help.
DD failed to obtain a place a Grammar school and I am aware that it is pointless to appeal over this.
We have been allocated the last choice on our list as we are 115m away from the better comp.
Allocation officer has said to appeal - but on what grounds would an appeal be is an appeal successful ??
Please advise!
Would it be acceptable to say how well she did in the test even though she didn't gain a place as they quote "commitment to excellence" as their mission statement.
At the end of a horrible journey and need help!
