Appeals Information
Important Information About Admission Appeals
If your child has not been offered a place at our school, you have the right to appeal the decision to an independent panel.
Appeal Timeline:
- Appeals cannot be heard until after the relevant closing date for applications has passed.
- Appeals lodged after the deadline will be heard within 40 school days of the appeal deadline, or 30 school days from the date the appeal is lodged—whichever is later.
- Appeals are not scheduled during school holidays, which may vary depending on the school.
- You will be notified of your appeal hearing at least 10 school days in advance.
- A copy of the school’s case will typically be sent to you one week before the hearing.
Submitting Further Evidence:
- Any additional evidence you wish to present must be submitted by the deadline indicated in your appeal hearing notification letter.
- Late evidence may not be considered during the appeal hearing.
In-Year Admission Appeals:
- If you are appealing for an in-year admission, your appeal will be heard within 30 school days from the date your appeal is lodged.
