I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the help and personalised advice you have given me.
I found out today that we won our son's appeal for a grammar school place, so I am incredibly happy, but also very aware that I could not have done it without the advice I was given on here. It was truly invaluable, as it is going to have a massive effect on the next 5 - 7 years of my son's life.
The appeals process is incredibly daunting for parents like me, even when you think you have a strong case. You all give up a huge amount of time sharing your knowledge, and I hope you realise how much it means to parents who are going through something so important to them.
From the bottom of my heart, THANKYOU! 
I will stop gushing now!
