School Admission Appeals Code

This book is intended to demystify what can be the daunting prospect of a School Admission Appeal. The book provides a clear explanation of how the process works, from the different sorts of School Admission Appeals, to what to expect at the Appeal hearing and how the Appeal Panel makes their decision on each Appeal. The book will give an understanding of the Appeals process to allow parents to make an informed decision on whether they wish to Appeal. For those who have decided to Appeal, the book explains the different elements of Appeal and how to prepare for them such as what the School's Case may say and how to prepare their own Case for their Appeal. It gives pointers on how to decide what evidence to submit in support of an Appeal as well as suggestions on how to build the Case to present on the day. Example questions to ask the Admission Authority as well as example questions that the Panel might ask a Parent are also included.
