Appealing a school’s decision

You must appeal against each rejection separately. You can only appeal once against each rejection.

The admission authority will set a deadline for submitting information and evidence to support your appeal. If you submit anything after the deadline, it might not be considered and may result in delays to your hearing.

Coram Children’s Legal Centre may be able to give you advice about appeals.
