Appeals

You are able to appeal against the decision to not offer your child a place at Hollington Primary School.

There are three grounds on which appeal at Hollington Primary School may be considered. You will need to evidence the grounds you believe applies in your case on the appeal form (found here) and return to the school.

Reasons for appeal are as follows:

1. a) That the admission of my child would not breach the Infant class size limit.
2. b) That a place would have been offered if the admission arrangements had complied with admissions law or had been correctly and impartially applied. For your appeal to succeed on this ground, you will have to show that the normal admission arrangements were not properly followed and if they had, your child would have been offered a place.
3. c) That the decision not to admit your child was not one which a reasonable Admission Authority would make in the circumstances of the case.
