Top Tips to Start Your School Admission Appeal

We’ve put together some handy tips to help you with the school admission process:

  • Accept the place you are offered!

Even if you are appealing a decision, you should accept the place you have been offered because if you don’t win your appeal, your child could potentially be without a school place!

  • Read, Read and Read Again. . .

You will probably receive your decision by letter or email. Make sure you read the contents carefully because it will contain very important information such as:

  1. The school your child has offered a place at;
  2. How waiting lists will be administered;
  3. When and how to appeal
  • You can do more than one appeal. If, for example, you put 5 schools on your preference form and your child did not get a place at any of the schools, you could put in 5 appeals if you wanted to! 

Start your appeal and remember to get on the waiting list for your preferred schools.
