Appeals
Year 7 appeals – September 2020
Year 7 places will be offered, via the local authorities, on 2nd March 2020. Children who cannot be offered a place, due to there being more applications than there are places, can ask to remain on a waiting list. Parents need to complete the online waiting list form at the website address https://www.leeds.gov.uk/resid... to join the waiting list.
The appeal form is available from the downloads section at the bottom of the page.
