Berks Appeal

Post by LC80 »

[*]Looking for some sound and sensible advice please. My son scored 105 in the Berks 11+ and he would like me to appeal on his behalf. What are the realistic chances of an appeal being successful?

To start with, when you say Berks schools, can you confirm whetehr you mean one of the Slough schools or Reading school?

I know appeals for Reading school are notoriously difficult to win but there has been a few over the years. I think we have some info from somewhere, so I will have a look for it.

However for Slough schools I don’t know.

Some info on appeals (Thanks to Loubylou22 for digging out the info from previous threads)
009-10 – 12 appeals heard – 0 allowed (there was a successful appeal for Year 8 )
2010-11 – 16 appeals heard – 3 allowed
2011-12 – 8 appeals heard – 1 allowed
2012-13 – 10 appeals heard – 0 allowed (there was a successful Year 9 appeal)
2013-14 (so far...at the date of the post) – 5 appeals heard – 0 allowed (there has been a successful Year 9 appeal)

Welcome to Appeals! :)
What are the realistic chances of an appeal being successful?
Previous data can provide some clues, but the main factor will be how strong a case you can put together.
