Our Admissions policies:
The Admissions policies for pupils' admissions during the academic years 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 can be found below. They included a timetable for appeals. However, new regulations apply to appeals at the moment because of covid-19.
Appeals timetables:
The government has issued new regulations about holding admission appeals up to September 2021. Due to covid-19 restrictions, there is no requirement for appeals to be heard in person at a face to face hearing. The current default position is appeal hearings taking place by video call or by telephone conference. Those parents unable to take part in this way can have their appeals heard in absence on the papers that are submitted. The strict timetable for appeals to be heard within a set number of days has been abandoned during this period too: they must be heard as soon as is reasonably possible, particularly over the summer holidays.
