Appeals

The school's admission appeals are supposed by Lancashire County Council. If the Governing Body cannot offer a school place, parents have the right to an appeal. This appeal should be submitted using the link below within twenty days of refusal of admission. 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 them is available on the Lancashire County Council website:

https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/children-education-families/schools/appeal-against-an-admission-decision/primary-school-appeals/

Lancashire County Council will contact you in respect of your appeal application and inform you of the arrangements. The outcome of the appeal will be notified to you in writing.  The decision of the Independent Appeal Panel is biding 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 an appeal in respect of any other school.
