unsuccessful first appeal
My son sat his Medway 11 + and was just below the pass mark, getting 516, we appealed with the support of the headmistress, but have heard today that was also unsuccessful.
Any advice, tips on where to go next? Do not want to go through the stress of another appeal if chance is nil!
Any input welcome

I am not sure of the system in Medway...... the Lea should be able to answer your questions on 'what happens next'.... once you know the procedure there is some good advise in the APPEALS section. You could also post any specific question in that section and I am sure one of the many 'gurus' will be able to help.
The Maths was oversubscribed, and possibly as you have said Peter not by much, but some children even with a low pass mark did not manage an offer today, unfortunately.Peter wrote:Its worth an appeal with a score of 516.
the Math is oversubscribed, but not by many, so it may be possible to win an appeal.
Rainham Mark selects on scores, but last year dipped its expectations.
Chatham Grammar is undersubscribed and an appeal panel may be sympathetic.
Medwaymum, keep trying. I know a girl who had the exact same score and has managed to see her way through...
Fingers crossed...
Many thanks for replies, it was Chatham Grammer School for boys that we had applied for had he been successful so that is encouraging that it is under subscribed.
Will meet with his teacher next week to get some input there too.
Difficult decision as he was so disappointed not to be successful first in the 11+ and now in the appeal that i dont know that we can cope with more stress!

Met with my sons teacher today, and she is encouraging an appeal and was very supportive. Meeting the headmistress later in the week.
Have been given advice to get in touch with the headmaster of Chatham Grammar School for boys and putting a case to him, but whom ever i spoke to at the school said that headmasters had no influence over appeal cases. Can anyone clarify this?
Thanks in advance
