Suddenly being hit by a spat of nerves over this.

I have written out the argument for why our son should atten the school

However I am wondering do I actually say why I feel that the schools argument is less valid or stick with the questions I asked for the 1st hearing?

thank you tiggytape stage 1 was last Thursday and the schools argument was upheld. I am concerned as the other local grammar school who also took in a bulge class did not accept any appeals this year..

Just hope this appeal view it differently

Unlikely to get on waiting list we are happy with 2nd choice and will settle there. We aimed for this school due to its specialism that is ds's preferred however other school is not a bad choice so he will go there and if we need to later on we will go for private lessons on the specialism if ds needs it.

Only 2 appeals upheld so I think that it was fair. (just not what I wanted laughs)

Sorry to hear you weren't successful but glad you are happy with the allocated school.
