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 to have your child admitted to that school.

The organisation responsible for making decisions about whether your child can have a place at a school is called the admission authority.

If the school you are applying for is a community or voluntary - controlled school, the admission authority is the local authority (LA)
If the school is voluntary - aided (church school), the admission authority is the school governors.

Each admission authority will try to give you your choice. If you have not been offered a place for your child at your most preferred school, you can take action.

The appeals booklet is available for download or alternatively you can contact the admissions and transfers team who will be happy to put one in the post for you.

Any queries regarding the appeal process please ring the clerk to the admissions appeal panel in Law & Democracy on 526189
