Late entrance 12+ passed but no places at JHGS
We recently moved back to our Bucks home from overseas and our son took a late entrance for GS on June 17 and passed with 132, JHGS is our only catchment school but they have no places. We have been given a place in Chesham but this is far from where we live. We recently heard about a successful transfer appeal where JHGS were forced to take a number of students yet we were not offered a place. Bucks CC said we can appeal but this will not be heard until September. Any advice on our next step would be appreciated.
Re: Late entrance 12+ passed but no places at JHGS
This sounds correct. The admission authority can only offer you a place if there is a vacancy (i.e. if the number on roll drops below the published admission number). Successful appellants, on the other hand, are 'imposed', and additional to the normal admission number.mag65 wrote:We recently heard about a successful transfer appeal where JHGS were forced to take a number of students yet we were not offered a place.

Appeals are not normally heard during the summer holiday.
