Year 7 appeals – September 2019
Year 7 places will be offered, via the local authorities, on 1st March 2019. Children who cannot be offered a place, due to there being more applications than there are places, can ask to remain on a waiting list.

In-Year appeals
These appeals are for children transferring between schools mid-year. You can make a formal appeal to an independent appeal panel, for any school that you have applied for where admission has been refused. This is a legal process and places are not ‘reserved’ for appeal panels to offer. As a guide, one in five appeals are successful.
In-year appeals are heard, where possible, within 30 school days of receipt of the appeal form.
