We have failed our appeal for sep 2012 ( we are on waiting list but random allocation takes place). Could we make a fresh application in Y7 or Y8 as clearly allocated school is not ideal school for our child with 50% GCSE passes.Poor standards which are confirmed in Ofsted.
Any suggestions would be helpful.

AFAIK you can appeal once per school year. So once in year 7 and once again in year 8. Poor standards don't win appeals though. Otherwise all 1200 kids (or whatever the roll is) would be able to win appeals!

50% pass isn't that bad though.... Why wouldn't your dc be one of the 50%?
