Further Information
-
Due to the current Coronavirus Pandemic, in line with legislation, all appeals lodged before 30 September 2021 are being heard based on written information only.
-
Appeals lodged after these dates will be heard as soon as reasonably practicable.
-
You will receive at least 14 calendar days’ notice of your appeal hearing date.
-
Appeals are normally heard during the daytime on weekdays and are not normally heard during school holidays unless essential to avoid un-necessary delays.
-
Where there are a number of parents all appealing for places at the same school, the hearings may go over a number of days.
-
The school’s case will be dispatched to parents and Panel members at least 7 calendar days before the start of the appeal hearing.
-
The Panel will set a deadline for any additional evidence to be received.
-
Following the hearing, decision letters will be sent, where possible, within 7 calendar days of the end of the hearing. During busy periods, such as main entry, full decision letters may take longer than this, so the Clerk will send a brief decision summary letter in the interim.
-
Appeal hearings for in-year places will be heard as soon as reasonably practicable, based on written information only.
