What is the decision making process for primary or secondary school appeals?
The Appeals Panel will not make decisions on the appeals until all the appeals for a school have been considered. In the event of there being many appeals for a school this may take several days. Only the Appeals Panel will make decisions on the appeals. The Appeals Panel is required to make a two part decision: 1. Whether the admission of additional children to a school would prejudice the provision of efficient education, or the efficient use of resources. 2. If this is proved, whether your case outweighs this prejudice. You will be notified of the Panel’s decision in writing as soon as possible.
