School Appeals

How to appeal school admissions

The number of school appeals made by disappointed parents is rising every year.

For many parents, the school admissions process is a harrowing experience and when their child is not allocated to the school they hoped for it's as if their whole world has collapsed. But an increasing amount of parents are taking action and appealing to the authorities to get another shot at their education dream.

However, making a school appeal is a difficult and exact procedure which many frustrated parents struggle to get to grips with. Appeal hearings are known to be fiercely impartial and cold hearted in the face of emotional parents who do not know the right things to say or the right way of saying it.

In 2008, of the 61,950 school appeals that went to an appeal hearing, only 19,150 were successful - so the odds of winning an appeal are already stacked against you.

But through careful planning and preparation you can make the best school appeal possible and automatically increase your chances of success. To find out how to do this please read on.
