Appealing for a Reception place for September 2025

Offers of school places will be made on 16 April 2025. If your application for a school is unsuccessful, you have the right to have your case heard by an Independent Appeals Panel.

If your child is due to start Primary School in September 2025 and you wish to appeal for a Reception place for a faith school or an Academy school, you should contact the school directly for details of their process as the responsibility for their appeals rests with the individual schools.

Each Primary school will have details of their deadlines and how to make an appeal on their website.

All Community Primary Schools appeals are administered by the Local Authority and will be subject to the below dates.
