There are different types of appeal depending on the age of your child and the type of school that you are applying for. As far as you are concerned you will want what you consider to be the best school for your child but the approach for your application and subsequent appeal will differ depending on who has made the decision. For many schools it will be the local authority that made the decision but with the number of schools converting to Academy status increasing, the number of decisions made by a school governing body is also increasing. Despite the fact that the School Admissions Code requires admission arrangements to be clear, fair and objective, the Schools Adjudicator has expressed concerns that some admission authorities are using increasingly complex admission criteria to determine successful applications. School Appeals will question and challenge any criteria that breaches the School Admissions Code.
