If your child is not allocated a place at our school, you have the right to appeal. It is advisable to consider alternative schools for your child, as only a very small minority of the appeals that are considered by Appeal Panels are successful. Officers at the Surrey Schools and Childcare Service (Tel No. 0300 200 1004) can assist you with queries on alternative schools in your area.

As an Academy, our Governing Body is responsible for handling our appeals, alongside Surrey County Council. Any parent wishing to appeal against non-admission under our Admissions Policy criteria should submit paperwork to Surrey County Council. Full details can be found on their website. 

Admission Appeals Timetable 

Appeals resulting from In Year Admission or Immediate Entry applications will be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged.

Appeals resulting from September 2024 application offers must be lodged by 15 May 2024. Appeals will be heard by 17 July 2024 (40 school days)

NB: Appeals will not start being heard until after the relevant closing date has passed.

Appeals lodged after these dates will be heard within 40 school days of the appeal deadline or 30 school days of being lodged, whichever is the later date.

Appellants will be sent notification of their appeal hearing at least 10 clear school days in advance of the hearing. Appellants will be sent a copy of the school's case 7 clear working days in advance of the hearing.

Appellants must ensure that any further evidence not included with their initial appeal, is received by 5pm on the day notified in the letter with details of the hearing. Any additional evidence or information received after this date might not be considered at the appeal hearing.
