My Education Appeal

Empower parents to be able to appeal to the schools their children need and deserve to get the right education. 

Founder, Mr. Jeynes, spent time as a Clerk for School Appeal hearings, listening to appeals where parents had excellent reasons to appeal—they just articulated them the wrong way.
 
In 2025, he founded My Education Appeal Ltd to bring hands-on experience to the process, helping to write the winning argument and deliver the best appeals at the hearings.

Focus for April

This is the month for booster!

The Easter break is a great time to tackle those tricky areas. All schools will have at least two weeks, if not three weeks, break. Remember that little and often is the key, even if you are on holiday, start the day with 30-40 mins on a topic your child is finding challenging.

Extra effort and practice in a particular area over the school break will have a massive impact. However it is essential you are targeting the correct area. Talk to your tutor or use your own knowledge if self teaching. Now is the moment to take time and ensure your child fully understands. You have time to ensure understanding is secure. You are not in a rush. As always, don't forget to ask your child - Which areas do they feel confident in? Where do they feel they need more support?

During this school holiday there are an abundance of courses available - online and face to face. Talk to your tutor or centre for advice and what their offering is. If they are not providing what your child needs, you can use another provider. When researching, do not be afraid of asking lots of questions to ensure the course fulfils your expectations. Find out about the teacher/tutor - Are they qualified? Are they experienced for your target schools? What exactly will be covered?
