Help with Appeal - Academy

27 replies

Nickw87 · 03/03/2025 11:51

Hi all, looking for some advice regarding the Secondary School appeals process. I'm currently trying to gathering evidence any and making notes.

We emotionally (rushed) submitted an appeal to the council however it was passed onto the school due to it being run by an academy the council does not deal with. We are currently awaiting and appeals date.

How do people win these things ?? What's the process

The school our daughter had her heart set on suits her much better - She is heavily invested in dance and preforming arts and that is what this school offers and is renowned for. We are very worries her mental health will suffer as a result.

You should check whether the school has been over PAN for Y7 at any time in the last 5 years. If they have, that will help you. You should also ask about their calculated net capacity. If it shows that they are under capacity, that will also help. You can ask the school for these things. They have to answer any reasonable question you ask to help you prepare for your appeal.

Hi! Apologies for jumping on this thread - how do you check this information? Directly with the school/registrar?

Yes, you ask the school. They are required to answer any reasonable questions you ask to help you prepare for your appeal.
