Admission Appeals

Please note that parents do not have the right to appeal if their request for their children to be admitted to a class outside of their normal year group has been refused, but the Local Governing Body have offered a place in the normal age group instead.

The Appeals Timetable for the Year 7 Intake will be published after National Offer Day.
