Schools admissions appeals process
A pupil may appeal for a place at any community school to which they apply and for which they have been refused a place. The responsibility for appeals rests with the local education authority.
Common Questions
- "I don't have to fill in a form as she's going to independent school"
- How can I stop my child going to a "bad" school?
- "If I live in the catchment area for the school, I'm guaranteed a place"
- If I only put down one preference, am I more likely to get it?
- "If I put my catchment area school down as my 3rd preference, that's what I'll get"
- "My daughter goes to the feeder school for Caludon Castle"
- "People lie on their application forms to get a place"
- Why do some schools not accept applications from certain areas of the city?
- "Catholic schools are only for Catholic children"
- I handed my form in on time and now they're saying it was late - what can I do?
