Hope those of you waiting for a primary school place today got the one you wanted. If not, here's what you need to know if you're thinking of an appeal: parenting school primaryschool
– from 2022 – 92% of families now receive an offer from their 1st choice of primary school and 98% receive an offer from one of their top 3 choices.But if your child does not get offered a place at a school of your choice, what can you do? When you receive your school offer, the letter will also tell you what to do if you are not happy with the school place offered.Keep calm and even if you’re feeling devastated, don’t let your child pick up on your worries and stress.
Your appeal will be heard by an independent panel, who will consider the school's case that it cannot take any more children weighed against your case that your child really needs that particular school. You may want to employ a solicitor or member of a schools appeals organisation to help you’re your appeal.Find out about other schools, ask to visit them and talk to other parents who may send their children there.
Your local council is obliged to provide schooling for your child from the age of 5, so if there are a large number of children without places, it will have to consider adding classes at local schools. Usually, a council will wait till several months to see how the situation pans out – not very helpful to stressed out parents!The panel’s decision is binding and can only be overturned by a court.
