• I am happy to provide a consultation in the privacy of your own home, provided I believe I can be of assistance. For appeals, the service I provide includes an explanation of the process, collecting information, advising on options (there are often more than parents have considered), preparation of a unique appeal letter to suit your individual case, together with, and essentially, a final preparation for the appeal hearing by phone. A fixed quotation on cost for this service will be provided on request, starting at £400 depending on complexity and location.
• I will be arranging Secondary school appeal consultations from Mid February, although you may need to wait until the beginning of March if you don't know whether you are going to be accepted at the relevant school. Please send outline details to me via the contact me page. Information I need to assess if I can help you varies according to the school concerned, but for grammar schools this may include:

1. Your child's individual test scores (available from the primary school in Kent)
2. Was there a Kent headteacher assessment (available from the primary school), or a Medway Review (details sent with your decision)?
3. The town or village where you live;
4. Your child's current school;
5. Schools you are considering;
6. Any other relevant factors;
7. A contact telephone number.

For infant class appeals, please supply me with any reason you are aware of that could overcome Infant Class Legislation (see Primary page)

I will get back to you as soon as possible by phone or email to discuss possibilities and provide preliminary advice where appropriate.

• I am also available at other times of the year for consultations on matters relating to admissions and appeals, the fee being appropriate to the work to be carried out, but will be significantly less if it is a stand alone meeting.

• All communications are confidential, unless you authorise me otherwise.

Please note that my telephone consultation service is suspended for secondary school appeals until after the peak appeal period.

Please note also that because of pressure of work, and my own areas of expertise, I am only able to support families for Kent and Medway schools, who live in the Kent and Medway Local Authority areas (excluding Bexley and Bromley I am afraid). Howevre, if you are thinking of relocating to Kent or Medway, please feel free to enquire about my telephone consultation service to see if I can assist. 

I have had a very few cases where the Contact Me page link has apparently not worked, so if you have not had a reply after 48 hours, please send me a brief email directly to confirm your enquiry.
