Appeals Information

Timetable for Appeals

Your appeal will be heard at what is called a Hearing, within a time scale of 40 days. Appeals lodged by the 14th May 2024 will be heard by the 17th July 2024.

All other appeals known as 'in-year' admissions and those for Year R  will be heard within 30 school working days of submitting the request.

Your appeal request should state your reason for your request and any additional information/documentation/appendices should be submitted five days before the hearing to allow time for it to be copied and distributed to all the interested parties. At least 10 working days before your appeal, unless you choose to waive this right, you will be sent detailed information regarding the process and also the date and names of the independent panel members who will hear the appeal.

The school is unable to guarantee that any original work/evidence/folders, submitted as part of the appeal, will be returned. Appellants may wish to submit copies in advance and then take important original documents verifying evidence to the appeal.

Further advice to parents wishing to appeal for a place for September 2024 is available on WSCC https://www.westsussex.gov.uk/education-children-and-families/schools-and-colleges/school-places/apply/make-an-admissions-appeal/
