You'll be VERY lucky if they let you appeal on it. I'm thinking that you should probably make the most out of whatever you have been given now, concentrate on helping with homework and things like that (if you can). I'm sure it wont be the end of the world, every school has bright pupils.

I think you will find that alot of parents do that... when i left primary school my dad only put one choice down and that was for the only catholic school in the area....AND no matter how bright a child is... how can they achieve their full potential at a rubbish school?? If schools dont need to be good for their pupils to learn what is the point of OFSTED?
