Admissions Appeal
Parents who are not offered a place for their child are entitled to appeal to an independent committee under provisions of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 as amended by section 40 of the Education & Inspections Act 2006, only if there is maladministration, an unreasonable decision or the admission criteria is non-compliant. Parents wishing to appeal in these circumstances should contact the local authority admissions department and complete an appeal form. The form should be sent to the Local Authority within 15 school working days from the notification of the decision not to admit.
