SCHOOL ADMISSIONS POLICY 2025-26

Appeal Arrangements

If an application for admission has been turned down by the Governing Body, parents can appeal to an independent appeals panel. This appeal should be sent in writing to the clerk to the governors at the school within 20 days of notification of refusal. The date of notification will be considered to be 2 working days after posting by first class post of the refusal to offer a place. The parents must give their reasons for appealing in writing. The Governing Body will ensure that those making an appeal

receive at least 10 school days’ notice of their appeal hearing and that decision letters are sent within 5 school days of the hearing, wherever possible. The decision of the appeal panel is binding on the parents and on the Governing Body.
