APPEAL TOMORROW!!

We have our appeal tomorrow and I am absolutely scared to death, so worried and just petrified it’s not going to go our way. Two other families we know who have had there appeal already, aren’t convinced it was worth while and one family have been offered a place for a school that was on their list so I am guessing there appeal won’t be upheld if the panel have offered a place elsewhere. I’m worried my emotions are going to get in the way and also worried how to summarise my case when my time comes to speak 😩😭

Yes I assume not. They didn’t apply on medical & social so I guess there was no evidence they could provide x

@Hye000
That's in your favour then.
Everything crossed for you.

When we went to appeal I was gobsmacked that all the people we knew who were appealing, were using really basic arguments. For example “it’s more convenient for work”. Ours was much more in depth thanks to the people on here. Although we never knew whether it actually helped as they ended up putting on a bulge class and we were all successful.

fingers crossed for you

As @prh47bridge said, it is a fair assumption to say that parents who come on here are more successful than those who don't.
I think by coming on here, it demonstrates how much we've put in to the appeal.
I spoke to every single organisation I could think of and came on here when I stumbled across a post on a Google search, and I'm glad I did.
SENDIASS were amazing, ACE were the most invaluable source for me, along with legal advice, Camhs, gp, current school, the LA were amazing too...I just centrally made a pest oh myself to anyone who could advise and it paid off.
I wouldn't have had the evidence I needed if I'd not put the work in. And even then I was still unsure if I had enough.
It is sheer determination and hard work that won for us.
With the help of so many, of who I've made sure to thank profusely!

OMG we bloody Won!!! My plane just landed and the first thing I did was check my emails and it said we were successful. I can’t wait to get to the hotel and tell my daughter.

echoing what @NatM70 said, if I hadn’t of found this place I know for sure we wouldn’t have been successful. You guys have given me invaluable tips and information and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, as a parent i feel like I’ve just won the lottery! My daughter & I can finally start planning her future and being excited for the transition to secondary school. Just can’t believe it 🥹❤️🙏🏽

Oh she was absolutely over the moon!!! She’s just trying to contain herself as the others were unsuccessful and she doesn’t want to rub salt in their wounds ☹️

so so pleased that we were successful, still can’t believe it’s over and we can move on! Feels surreal
