School admission appeals
You have the right to say which school you would prefer your child to go to, but this does not mean that you have the right for your child admitted to that school.
There are several options that you can take if you have been refused a place at your preferred school(s).
- You may want to do nothing and accept a place at an alternative school.
- you can submit an appeal form and tell an Independent Appeal Panel about your circumstances as to why you need a place at your preferred school.
- take a look at the guide for parents on school admissions and appeals (.pdf) which gives detailed information depending upon the type of school you applied for.
You may also wish to seek independent advice or help to assist with your admission appeal:
- The Choice Adviser: choiceadvice@stockton.gov.uk or (01642) 526603
- The Advisory Centre for Education (ACE): www.ace-ed.org.uk or (0808) 800 5793
