hi there does anyone know where i can get the info on how many appeals are going to be heard for a particular school. i have phoned and been on hold and transferred so many times and no one at the kcc seems to know anything !!!!!
i just wanted a little ray of light, just to know how many appeals would be likely to be heard .
also if a school had 60 places left at grammar school would all of these be filled with appeals or only the ones deamed suitable , so there would still be places left at the end of appeal, if not all appeals were suitable . im a bit confused

Grammar school appeals are to determine if the child is of grammar school ability. Whilst appeal panels may be more generous in their judgements if there are a lot of spaces (all grammar schools in Thanet) they will not fill up just because there are spaces.
