Appeals

If your child is due to start Primary school in September 2025, you can appeal if you are refused a place at one of your preferred schools on National Offer Day (Wednesday, 16 April 2025).

Any appeals received after this time will be heard within 40 school days from the deadline, or where reasonably possible in line with updated guidance from the Department for Education. 

You should consider the following before your appeals hearing:

• appeals must be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being submitted.
• you will receive a letter including the date of the hearing no later than 10 school days before the hearing
• appeals must be heard by an independent appeal panel which has no connection to the school
• you will be invited to attend the appeal hearing and give your case about why you wish your child to attend the school

A parent/ carer can request that a school delays or defers their child's entry to reception. Further information on the process for this can be found here. 

For late applications, appeals should be heard within 40 school days from the deadline for lodging appeals where possible, or within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged where reasonably possible in line with updated guidance from the Department for Education
