Hi Sue,

It's were the head teacher ranks your child's suitability for grammar school within there year group.

How many are in your son's year group?

The key thing is how many people below him reached qualifying? How accurate was the list?

If you son is in the middle of a lot of children who quaified it's easier to explain that the result is a 'blip'.

The link to the Bucks headteachers' manual is out of date. It is now:

See the sticky post as well (top of forum posts).

I asked the head teacher. I understand you get a copy in the appeal pack, without any of the childrens names, is this right?

We found out our son's position in the order of ranking from chat with the HT (& then confirmed on her report) and understand from someone who has done this all before that we then find out what happened either side of that when paperwork is sent back from County before the appeal date...
