appeal
Not great, probably the most gruelling we've had. Felt we were getting clear message that there was no chance. Don't really feel like phoning tomorrow, but at least it will all be over.
Questions related to academic evidence were the toughest , felt that they did not believe the Teachers and Headteacher's predictions, and there was no way we could convince them.
All the best to others who have had to go / will be going through the same process.

Yes, we're ringing for the results tomorrow. In N Yorks we have a selection review appeal before the March allocation where a panel decides if there's been a mistake in the selection of in catchment children.
Having spoken to two other sets of parents who went in today, we seem to have been given a much harder time. anyway, too late for regrets now, I will ring tomorrow and then we can all move on.

Panel comprised of one independent person (an "academic " doctor who had been involved in education) and two lay panel members, one did not ask much but the other was extremely forthright, I don't think he thought much of our arguments and made it clear that he didn't think much of the letters from our daughter's teachers and head teacher. We have since found out that someone else appealing from the same school did not have letters from school, just the form that the HT fills in ( we had that as well) and I'm now wondering whether they thought we'd pressured them into sending them.
