Frequently asked questions

What are valid grounds for a school admissions appeal?

Common grounds include: the school failed to follow admissions procedures correctly, the decision was unreasonable, or the prejudice to your child of not attending outweighs the school's case for refusal.

How long do I have to appeal a school admissions decision?

You typically have 20 school days from receiving the refusal letter to submit your appeal. Act quickly.

Can I appeal my child's exclusion from school?

Yes — parents have the right to appeal a permanent exclusion to an Independent Review Panel. Fixed-term exclusions can be challenged through the school's governors.

What should I include in a school appeal letter?

Why the school is particularly suitable for your child, any special circumstances, siblings at the school, medical or social reasons, and why refusing would be prejudicial to your child's education.
