Reasons you may appeal

There are a number of reasons why you might want to appeal a school place refusal. Some common reasons include:

  • You have exceptional circumstances that warrant your child being offered a place at the school. For example, if your child has a medical condition that requires them to attend a particular school, or if your child has a sibling who already attends the school and it would be detrimental to their well-being to be separated.
