Waiting List

Parents / carers of children who have not been offered a place at the school, may ask for the child's name to be placed on the Waiting List, which is operated according to our admissions criteria. Placing a child's name on the waiting list does not guarantee that a place will become available.

Appeals

Parents / carers whose applications for places are unsuccessful may appeal to an Independent Appeal Panel set up in accordance with Sections 88 and 94 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998. You should carefully consider the reasons given for not offering your daughter a place and also look at our Admissions Policy. Appeals must be made in writing and must set out the reasons on which the appeal is made. Appeals should be made to the Admissions Appeal Clerk c/o the school address. Parents / Carers have the right to make oral representations to the Appeal Panel. The decision of the panel is final.
