Appeals

The School’s admission appeals are supported by Lancashire County Council.  If we are not able to offer a school place, parents have the right to make an appeal.  The appeal provides you with an opportunity to explain why you wish to register your child at our school. The appeal forms and advice on how to complete the appeal must be submitted using the link below within twenty days of refusal of admission.

Lancashire County Council will contact you in respect of your appeal application and inform you of the arrangements.  Following the process, you will be notified in writing of the outcome.

The decision of the Independent Appeal Panel is binding to all parties, i.e. the family and the school. 

Please note that this right of appeal against the Governors’ decision does not prevent you from making a further appeal in respect of any other school.
