School admission appeals panel
What is the school admission appeals panel?
School Admission Appeal Panels determine appeals lodged by parents where their child is not offered a place at their preferred school.
Who is on the panel?
Each appeal panel is made up of two categories of people:
- People who have not worked in a school except as a governor or volunteer
- People who are experienced in education, such as teachers, teaching assistants or parents of registered pupils
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer member of the panel please see the following documents for further information:
