Being in Kent there is a Headteachers review panel where the heads are aware of the results before they are issued to parents and they can submit evidence to the panel concerning children who may have missed by a small amount but who they would have expected to pass.
Otherwise is it is a case of waiting until you are rejected by a school in March and then appealingHeadteacher Assessment
Primary school headteachers are provided with the results at the beginning of October. They have the right to apply for a 'Headteacher Assessment' (often called Headteacher Appeal) for children who have not reached the pass standard. This is carried out on a confidential basis without parents being informed. A panel of headteachers consider a selection of work submitted by the primary school, the Writing Task undertaken as part of the Kent Test and a report containing evidence from the headteacher.
If the child is successful in the headteacher assessment, then the decision is regarded as a pass on an equal footing with those who gained automatic selection through test results. This means that the child is found selective and this decision is recognised at all Kent grammar schools.
