Admissions Appeals

All applicants refused a place have a right to an Independent Appeal panel (IAP) constituted and operated in accordance with the School Admission Appeal Code.

The School Admission Appeal Code prescribes that applicants are entitled to one appeal per academic year per school. Therefore, the decision of the IAP applies to the whole of the academic year for those children changing schools in September and the remainder of the academic year in all other cases. However, if there has been a material change of circumstances since the appeal an applicant can apply again and, if the Academy agrees that there has been a material change of circumstances but still fails to offer a place, that applicant would be permitted a second appeal.
