Deadlines for lodging appeals

Parents who do not obtain a place for their child at Blue Coat CE (Aided) Infant School may
appeal against the decision not to offer a place. An independent Appeal Panel will hear the
appeal.

The decision of an Appeal Panel is binding on the school and on the parents. If an
appeal is unsuccessful, no further appeal may be made in the same school year unless there
are significant changes in the circumstances of the child or the school.

If you wish intend to complete an admission appeal for the September 2024 round, please ensure that you complete this by the deadline of Friday 17th May 2025.

If you wish to appeal an admissions decision, please contact the Junior School admin team
on 01922 720 921. They will be able to advise you on the appeals procedure and timescale.

You can also contact the office for an appeals form or alternatively download one from our
website.
