Don't know if any of you have been through this, but our son has been rejected from all our preferred schools so we're planning on appealing … but we're not sure of the process / what to do … so looking for advice.
The situation is:
– we live in Kent, right on the Kent/Surrey border
– our son took the 11+ and passed with flying colours
– we applied to 4 schools – 2 Grammar and 2 state – rejected from them all
– the Grammar schools are the nearest ones to us – one rejected us because his 11+ passmark was too low (fair enough) and the other because it was over-subscribed, and we're further away than other kids
– one state school rejected us becasue it's in Surrey (all of 2 miles from us!), the other 'son't know' but it's not a preferred option at the mo
We want to appeal to the Grammar school that's over-subscribed. Apparently he's 26th on the waiting list.
Anyone got any tips / advice pls – rather stressed out over this 🙁
Thanks
