Appeals Information 2024

Appeal Dates & Information Academic Year 2024/2025

If you have not been offered a place following an in-year application, the law entitles you to appeal to an Independent Appeal Panel. This panel is completely independent of the school and the Local Authority. In accordance with the 2022 School Admission Appeals Code Appeals, the admission authority and panels have elected for all admissions appeals to be held online.

If you wish to appeal, please use this link to complete your appeal online. Please do NOT use ANY other appeal form or send your form to your local authority. It is highly recommended that you download the explanatory booklet about appeals which you should read before you complete the appeal form. Booklet Link  

You should include any evidence or supporting material with your appeal form and you MUST state the grounds of your appeal at the time you lodge your appeal form. Your appeal form will not be accepted unless you give the grounds of your appeal. You may appeal for more than one school.

Please note that the online form will ask you to download two utility bills dated in the last THREE months.  If you do not have access to a scanner, please take two photographs using a mobile phone and upload the photographic files.

If you wish to contact the clerk – email :  clerk@educationappeals.com

Information about Secondary Transfer appeals will be posted on this website before 28 February 2025.

The timetable for ‘in-year’ appeals is as follows: -

The timetable for ‘in-year’ appeals

Please note that slightly different rules will apply for any summer transfer appeals into Year 7.

Letter from the Clerk informing you of the decision of the independent appeal panel

Due to the high number of appeals, an email is sent a few working days after your hearing with the decision of the panel.  This is followed up around 10 working days later with a letter outlining the panels’ reasons.

The timetable for 6th form appeals

Last day for Lodging appeals

Please note the timetable is very short to enable those appellants who win appeals to start as early into the school year as possible. 

 

The form will only be available from results day.
