My 10-year-old daughter has started getting small pimples/acne on her forehead (she also suffers with eczema) . We saw the GP and were told they usually don’t prescribe acne medication for children under 12.
Has anyone else dealt with this at a similar age? Did anything gentle actually help? Just looking for safe recommendations for young sensitive skin?
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to understand how realistic grammar school appeals actually are and would really appreciate hearing from anyone with experience.
My son scored above the overall Kent Test threshold (370) but missed the English mark by one point. We’ve already gone through one appeal (Dartford Grammar) which was unsuccessful, and we now have another one coming up for Wilmington Grammar School.
We’ve submitted strong academic evidence (Headteacher recommendation, Greater Depth SATs, etc.) and our argument is mainly that he is suited to a grammar school but has been allocated a non-selective school instead.
From what I’ve read, most appeals seem to come down to “prejudice” balancing the school being full vs the impact on the child. What I’m struggling to understand is what actually makes a panel say yes.
For anyone who has been through this:
I know it’s a long shot, but just trying to get a realistic view before the next hearing.
Thanks in advance, really appreciate any insight.
