Online Schools Appeals Forms

Online appeal forms for Reception and Transfer will be available from the relevant notification date until the end of August each year.

You can appeal to any school or school where a place has not been offered. A full explanation of the appeal process was included in the notification letter sent to you.

Details copied and pasted from word into the online application form must be in plain text (no colours, bullet points etc). Anything other than plain text may not be recognised by Word and may not show as you intended when you submit your form.

When completing your on-line form you should click the “Save & continue” button to go on to the next page, and should only click the “Submit” button when your form is completed.  The submit button will only show (at the bottom of each page) once all the pages have been completed.

You will be timed out of the online appeal form after 3 hours and any information entered will be lost, so please ensure that you complete the form within the timescale.

There are some sections which you must complete. When you click the “Save & continue” button, red lettered explanations will pop up if you have not completed the mandatory sections.

You are not able to return to the form, so please make sure you have included everything you need to. If you need a copy of your form, you should print each page before you exit the form.
You must complete an appeal form for each school you are applying for, as your reasons for appealing to different schools are likely to be different.
