Section 5 - Appeal Hearing

Please delete as appropriate: I/ We intend / do not intend to be present at the Appeal Hearing.

Please note: If you are unable to attend the arranged hearing date then the appeal will be heard in your absence

and the Panel will take into consideration your appeal form and any other evidence that has been provided by you prior

to the hearing.

Section 7 - Important Information

Additional information for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 (Key Stage 1) appeals

By law, infant classes must not have more than 30 children except in very limited exceptions. This means it is very

difcult to be successful at an appeal hearing and personal circumstances such as home to school distance, children

arrangements, transport issues or having children at other schools are highly unlikely to be sufcient reasons to make

an appeal successful.

An appeal can only be successful if one or more of the following circumstances apply:

• If the admission of the child would not increase the class size limit over 30;

• If the admission arrangements do not comply with the law;

• If the admission arrangements were incorrectly applied;

• If the decision to refuse admission was unreasonable (completely perverse and outrageous) in light of the

admission arrangement

Additional Information for Key Stage 2 and above

By law an appeal for a school place in Key Stage 2 and above can only be successful if the following circumstances

apply. You are advised to consider carefully whether your case falls within the grounds.

1. Whether the admission arrangements complied with the law

2. Whether the admission arrangements were applied correctly and fairly in the case of your child

3. Whether or not admitting an extra child would adversely impact on the provision of education at the school

Section 6 - Declaration

If my appeal relates to a school that acts as its own Admissions Authority i.e. an Academy, Voluntary-Aided or Free

School, I understand that this form will be sent to that school.

Parent/Guardian: I the undersigned hereby declare that I have parental responsibility for the child named in Section 1

and conrm that all persons with parental responsibility have been consulted and agree to this appeal (unless I have

provided reasons under Section 3)

Signature: ............................................. Print Name: .............................................

Date: .............................................

Section 8 - Grounds for Appeal

Please state the reasons why you believe that your child should attend your preferred school.

You should try to explain what the preferred school can offer your child that no other school in Stockton can offer.

If your case relates to your child’s medical or additional needs and you have documentation from professionals to

support this, please attach this to the form or forward it to the address overleaf as soon as possible.

Please continue overleaf if necessary.
