Appealing for a place

If your application for a school is unsuccessful, you have the right to have your case heard by an Independent Appeals Panel.

If you wish to appeal for either a reception place or as part of an in-year request, you should contact the relevant School Appeals team.

Further information on how to appeal for a school for whom the Local Authority arranges the appeals, can be found on our School Appeals page.

For schools who administer their own appeals, please check the schools webpage for further information on how to appeal.

You can also use the FAQs (frequently asked questions) on Starting Primary school to try and answer any queries you may have on this subject.
