A question how to check if it is a value added school. WEnt to the page abt that but don't understand. Can anyone explain?

S1 posting booklet pg G4 - G10. See the academic value-add column. Compare COP of different sch and their banding. It will give u an idea.

Could you please guide me step by step?

My dd had chosen a school which is not banded when she can choose to go to one which is banded and now she is being posted to her choice. Is it still possible to appeal now? How high is the chance if we appeal now and is there any deadline for appealing? Thanks.

Appeal open 21 n 22 Dec. Act quickly.

Thanks. Have tried calling a number of schools and am surprised that instead of expecting a lower cop, theirs have increased! Not sure if it is a wise move to appeal. If we appeal to another school, what will happen to the current one and by tomorrow morning we will have to report to the respective school already.

You report at posted school first, then wait for appeals results. If that comes through, you then withdraw from the first school and register at the second.

I was told that we should inform the school we are reporting to that we are appealing to another school then we need not buy school books and school shoes.


But my concern is wont the kid be very odd to report to the school on 3 jan wearing its primary school uniform ? Will he feel outcast ? The school I talked to said it is quite common so there is nothing to be alarmed, but I’m still a bit worried. Can parents who has done this be able to advise what’s it like and whether the child will feel outcast, or it is a common sight and hence nothing special.

Usually sch will inform you appeal results (if successful) before early Jan, but I also know of cases which inform after that. You should not buy books tomorrow (unless you are prepared to junk them if you get into the other sch). Delay purchase till end Dec.

Appeal carries uncertainty, so you and your kid must be prepared to face this uncertainty, and the final outcome (be it happy or sad).

It depends on the school and your kids' results. Some schools will let you know on the day of appeal itself if your t-score is very good and above their COP. If your t-score is below the COP, then notification can be within days of appeal or even up to the first few days of January.
