VA secondary so its own AA. Uses a s/employed appeals clerk. 74 listed, 66 heard, 7 upheld. School added 19 more onto list before sending to LA. Clerk allows school to electronically sign letters. He admitted to me he was aware names were added who either had appeals rejected or who were picked by school.
Discovered by chance what happened, school refused to speak to me for weeks. Complained to LA who presented me with list so I could sign to say the 7 upheld. They have refused to take action, claiming no statutory breach has taken place! ( very weak LA).
Eventually saw HT who, initially denied any knowledge, then blamed the office clerk, was a one off until I showed him the evidence suggests they have been doing this four years now.
Same appeals clerk now implicated in at least 4 other schools were the figures have been changed before going to LA, who still are burying their heads in the sand.
Of course this "independent" clerk has dropped me from his list and begun using untrained people and his wife.
To whom do I complain about the "fiddling" of figures
