Clara's Invicta appeal

Dad and Mum collected Mrs Bone from Aylesford school at 2:00 to go to Sessions House in Maidstone to meet the appeal panel to ask them to let Clara go to Invicta Grammar School even though she had missed the 11+ score required by 1 point!  We were met by Mrs Derrick, Head Teacher of Invicta; who has been really supportive. We were introduced to the appeal panel, 2 gentlemen and 1 lady, who asked us why Clara should be allowed to go to Invicta.  Mrs Bone was great and so positive about Clara's ability and the fact that she would thrive in a grammar school and In particular at Invicta because of their great support mechanisms. They either have 10 places to take them to their current role of 192 places or 42 places if they put on another class. We will have the outcome in about a week, we shall just have to wait and see whether Mum and Dad wearing matching outfits will be the clincher!!
