Dd has failed the 11+. It was expected because the week she took the test she had several big incidents that left her stressed and upset. I had hoped that we might be able to appeal on the basis of what happened that week but her results have fallen far too short I think.
This leaves me having to apply for non selective high schools. We live in a rural location and realistically we will be offered our nearest school. The school isn't popular, but I did send my son there a few years ago. The whole experience was a disaster and eventually I withdrew my son and he is now educated at home.
I feel I have burnt my bridges with the local school and I don't have any faith in them now.
There are a few schools in the nearest town that I would consider, but we are way out of catchment and they are mostly over subscribed.
Any ideas on how best to approach this situation?
