School appeals advice for admissions
Helping parents across England appeal school admission decisions.
Rather than spending days trying to draft your own letter from conflicting information online, we've done the hard work for you.
Our template letter is a low cost way to start your child's school admission appeal before the deadline.
We include free guidance on how to fill in the template, with examples of reasons you may like to include, all in an easy-to-follow structure.
Some local authorities have a form to fill in, others require a letter; however you need to respond, our template will help you structure and formulate the basis of your appeal, using the details set out in the refusal letter or email you received.
There is a strict time limit to respond to the admission decision, so it's important to start the process as soon as possible.
You should submit your appeal before the deadline, though further information and supporting evidence, such as letters from medical professionals or examples of work, can be submitted later.
It's for Normal Round admissions at Secondary Schools, for decisions announced on national offer day in March. It isn't specifically designed for Grammar Schools but can still help build an appeal.
A free template may be out of date, lack detailed guidance, examples of reasons or advice on evidence, and may only be a one page outline rather than a full 6 page guide.
