School appeals - How long should I wait?

We had our school appeal on the 12th May. We were told that they had appeals up until 19th May and we would get our outcome within 10 working days from 19th May. This seems such a long time so I googled the appeal code and it states that the appeallant should hear ideally within 5 days, not even 5 working days. Can any clarify this? I am going insane hear.
Thanks.

I thought that. The school last year had 98 appeals and only 2 were successful Sad.
Prh47bridge do you know how long the process of making the decision is? A couple of days? A week? I'm assuming they'll have around 100 appeals again.

It is 5 school days, not 5 days. The requirement is, however, qualified by saying "unless there is good reason". The fact that there are other appeals for the same school is good reason as the panel must not decide any appeal until it has heard them all.

I believe it's school days. We had a bank holiday after ours and it took longer to find out. I feel your pain it's so hard waiting. Ours allowed 1 out of 78.
