School Placement - Appeals
If you have applied to a school for your child and were turned down you have the option to appeal.
The process up to age 7;
You will receive a letter advising of the decision and also how you can appeal the decision; there are a number of reasons an appeal will be successful:
- The procedure was not followed correctly
- The criteria for selection were not legal - you can read more about this via the GOV.UK web site
- The decision was unreasonable
If you have decided to appeal the decision you will need to make an application, which can be daunting so you may need help. As mentioned, many firms of solicitors will be able to assist with your application but, and there are organisations, such as Coram, that will be able to offer guidance.
The appeals process does have strict time scales so do not delay. Once the appeal is made you will be advised by the school on a hearing date; the hearing panel will be made up of three independent people who will have details of the reason for decline, you will have an opportunity to explain your reasons for appeal and it is then up to the panel to decide.
Once this decision is made the only redress you have is to a court or the Secretary for Education, unless you have a very good reason to appeal again to the school.
The process for secondary school is very similar, but with any Educational appeal we would always suggest that you obtain advice; you can read all the legislation you like, but speak to people who put it in to practice, their experience will be invaluable to you.
