Appeals
If your child is not allocated a place at our school, you have the right to appeal. It is advisable to consider alternative schools for your child, as only a very small minority of the appeals that are considered by Appeal Panels are successful. Officers at the Surrey Schools and Childcare Service (Tel No. 0300 200 1004) can assist you with queries on alternative schools in your area.
As an Academy, our Governing Body is responsible for handling our appeals, alongside Surrey County Council. Any parent wishing to appeal against non-admission under our Admissions Policy criteria should submit paperwork to Surrey County Council. Full details can be found on their website.
Admission Appeals Timetable
Appeals resulting from September 2025 application offers must be lodged by 20 May 2025. Appeals will be heard by 22 July 2025 (40 school days)
Please note: Appeals will not start being heard until after the relevant closing date has passed.
Appeals lodged after these dates will be heard within 40 school days of the appeal deadline or 30 school days of being lodged, whichever is the later date.
Appeals are not heard in school holidays.
Appellants will be sent notification of their appeal hearing at least 10 clear school days in advance of the hearing. Appellants will be sent a copy of the school's case normally a week in advance of the hearing.
Appellants must ensure that any further evidence not included with their initial appeal is received by the stated deadline, which will be clearly highlighted in the appeal hearing notification letter. Any additional evidence or information received after this date might not be considered at the appeal hearing.

Appeals resulting from in year admission applications will be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged.
