We've done all we can, just have to wait now!

Interestingly the school had 20 spaces available - does anyone know what would happen if less than 20 get through the appeal? Would the Panel bear the no pf places in mind when deciding. Do schools then just have a year group with a lot less pupils in it?

The school we appealed to was undersubscribed. They heard 13 appeals and 5 were successful. I believe they were undersubcribed by more than 5 places. Good luck and I hope you get good news.

We11 done for surviving SPUD - you are welcome to join us in rehab ...


In Buckinghamshire places are left empty if there aren't enough qualified children - hence there are usua11y places in some schools for 12+ pupils - that's how my child got a place [silver linings do exist!]

Hi Marie

It was Wirral Boys.

It went ok, we were really nervous, which they could tell, they were nice tho (I had visions of Dragon's Den!!!) - i think we said all we could have.

Is Wirral girls undersubscribed too? Good luck with it Wednesday.
