Appeals

If we are unable to offer you a place this will usually be because we are oversubscribed. You do have a statutory right to appeal to an independent appeals panel for a place for your child. Should you wish to appeal please go to the Local Authority website Hertfordshire School Appeals or contact the Admissions Officer for more information.

In Year Appeals

Appeals resulting from in year admission applications will be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged.

Additional Supporting Information

Any appellant wishing to submit supporting evidence after they have lodged their appeal will need to get that to the Appeals Team at least 7 working days before the hearing.

Please remember that any confidential medical/social evidence submitted to the Admission Authority (AA) in support of an application will not be provided to an appeal panel. Any appellant who wishes to rely on this in support of an appeal will need to submit it separately to the Appeals Team.

A short document (like a doctor’s letter which was not previously available) will be accepted up to 4 working days before the hearing. Any additional evidence received after this deadline will be accepted only at the panel’s discretion.
