Appeals
If you are refused a place at our school or you are not happy with the school that admissions have allocated your child then you have the right to appeal.
When appealing it is important for you to stay within any timetable given for your appeal process. You must state all the information on which your appeal is based in your written statement of appeal. If you miss the last date to ask for an appeal it may result in a delay in hearing your appeal.
After submitting your appeal, the clerk of the appeal panel will write to you about the appeal hearing and all the procedures will be explained. An independent appeal panel hears appeals. You must also inform the appeals panel if you intend to call any witnesses or be represented at the appeal hearing.
