How to appeal if my child is refused a place?
If you are refused a place, you have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel. If it is for an in-year application you will need to notify the admissions team. You will then receive an appeal form for you to complete with the reasons for the appeal. Once the form is received an appeal hearing must be held within 40 school days from the deadline for lodging appeals, or within 30 school days for an in-year admission application.
