Appeal hearings:
You will have the right
to put your case in person to the independent appeal panel, whose
decision is binding on both the Local Authority (LA) and parents.
The panel consists of 3 people. None of them will work for the
Council nor have any connection with the school concerned.
If your child has been refused a place at a Voluntary Aided or
Foundation school, the school's governing body is required by law
to make arrangements for you to appeal against that decision to an
independent appeal panel. Please contact the school direct for
information on how to pursue an appeal.
Parents are only allowed 1 appeal for a place at the same school in
the same academic year, unless there has been a significant change
in circumstances - for example, a change of address.
However, parents are entitled to submit appeals for more than one
school. | |
