Parent/carers have the right of appeal if their child has not been offered a place at one of their preferred schools.
You can only appeal against the refusal of a place at a school that is currently one of your live preferences.
Appeals are heard and decided by panels that are completely independent of the school(s).
It is important that you consider the likelihood of your appeal being successful. For example, whether you were realistic with the preferences you submitted for your child.
Appeals are generally only successful if you or your child have exceptional reasons for needing admission to a particular school. There are no guarantees that any appeal will be successful. The table below shows the number of lodged and successful appeals for the King Edward VI Grammar Schools.
