we have put in two school appeals and now just waiting for the appeal date! Who else is waiting? Is the not knowing that’s the hardest. Anyone who has gone through the appeal any advice for what to expect on the day?

@PlainSkyr thank you yes such a relief can now look forward to the start of next term. Good luck for yours, have you done much preparation for the appeal?

I have a letter of my own and various supporting letters. But given it’s a faith school I don’t have much hope; we are not of the faith.

So we had our first appeal this week, panel were friendly and asked a couple of questions. Found out today that we had won !! Totally shocked as I know chances are slim. First choice won so don’t have to go through with the second appeal, so relieved one ecstatic child. Thank you to all posters here who have helped me with tips and suggestions

We found out today we won our appeal for our first choice school! We had already done appeals for our 2nd and 3rd choice schools, which were unsuccessful....so I had completely lost hope! Really cannot believe it and keep re-reading the letter!
