Appeals

If you have applied and been refused a place at our school, you have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel constituted and operated in accordance with the School Admission Appeals Code.  This is a legal process, and places are not ‘reserved’ for appeal panels to offer.

Our appeals are arranged by Leeds City Council.

Year 7 – Intake 2026

Any appeals submitted now will be heard after the start of the academic year and be considered as in-year appeals.  Further details about the appeals process and a link to the appeal form can be found on Leeds local authority’s website. 

In-year appeals

Appeals against a decision for an in-year application can be submitted any time during the academic year. Appeals will be heard within 30 school days of the appeal request being received (where the application for a place has been refused and the right of appeal has been issued).

How to appeal

Appellants can get further details about the appeals process and find the link to the appeal form on Leeds local authority’s website.
