Appeals

Parents of candidates who have not been allocated a place have a statutory right of appeal.

Please note that for entry into Year 7 in September 2024 parents cannot submit an appeal until their child has formally received a secondary school place on National Offer Day 1st March 2024.

Information about appealing a school place can be found on the North Yorkshire Council website at https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/education-and-learning/school-admissions/appeal-school-place. Admission Appeal Forms and guidance notes on the appeal process can be downloaded from this website.

Forms must be completed and returned to the Admissions Appeals Office, North Yorkshire Council by the published deadline. Timelines and important dates can be found at https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/education-and-learning/school-admissions/appeal-school-place.

For more information, please contact North Yorkshire School Admission Appeals Office: e-mail appeals@northyorks.gov.uk / phone 01609 533385.

The Appeals Panel is constituted in accordance with the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 and all members are independent of the school and of the Local Authority. Its decisions will be binding on the Admission Authority and on the parents.
