2nd Appeal

Post by slough mum »

I have my second appeal (first was unsuccessful).

What can I do or change to make sure my 2nd appeal is successful. Do I need to change what I presented to the panel, or do I require more supporting back up?

Please help as this is my last chance now.

Hello, Slough Mum, when you say 2 nd appeal, do you mean, 2 nd appeal for one school, or another appeal for another school?

You should repost this in the appeals section, where Etienne and Sally Anne have lots of advice, I think.

Good luck

How did you manage to get a 2nd appeal for the same school, if you don't mind me asking ?

Thanks LFH, I really do need it!

I made a complaint to the LGO, and once the school received the paperwork they offered a date.

Because LGO have requested this appeal, are the panel likely to be sympathetic, is it more likely to be a success?

I don't think the panel are likely to be more sympathetic to your case because a fresh appeal has been ordered by the LGO, but I would have thought that they will be following the rules and guidelines to the letter which in itself might help.

There is a chance that the panel will be paranoid that you will file another complaint, so I would do your best to come across as reasonable. Even though I'm sure you had a very valid reason to complain last time.
