4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth your money, 18 Jul 2005
I purchased this book as like countless other people my daughter was turned down for the school of our choice, i found that there was hardly any information available on how to lodge a decent school appeal.
What this book does is guide you through the process from start to finish, it gives you pointers on things to include in your appeal, whether you have a strong case,things to reasearch in order to give you a strongr case, how to word your appeal and what to expect at the hearing.
What it doesn't do is give you false hope, if you haven't got a case then it becomes quite clear that there isn't much chance of being successful.It becomes quite clear that there are strict guidlines to the admission process and if you do not fall within the criteria then the odds are stacked against you.
Having said that the appeal i lodged was much better written and worded than if i hadn't purchased this book.
So if your looking for information on what to expect during this stressful process then this is the book for you,but dont expect it to contain miracles or a sure fire way to get your child into the school of your choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, 8 Mar 2005
What a life saver. Our daughter was turned down for a place and we had no idea about how to appeal or anything. The school was no help. This book has told us everything. I can't thank the author enough. Fingers crossed for the hearing, but we are MUCH more confident of success than we were. THank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars I don't know what I would have done without this book, 20 May 2009

(REAL NAME)   
How to Win Your School Appeal: Getting Your Child into the School of Your Choice

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. During the long and emotional journey from decision letter to appeal hearing it is like a friend guiding you each step of the way. Ben Rooney helps you to prepare a well constructed and logically written submission,tells you what information you need to find out to strengthen your appeal and advises you about what questions to ask during the appeal hearing itself. Using this book our appeal for our daughter to gain a place at her chosen (highly oversubscribed) high school was successful.
