If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your application for a school place, you may wish to appeal to an independent appeal panel. If you wish to appeal, please complete and submit the form below. The School's Admission Policies can be found here.
If your child has an Education, Health and Care Plan, you must contact the Special Educational Needs Team for your Local Authority. For Lincolnshire County Council, the telephone number is 01522 553332.
For in year appeals, please see the Schools Admissions Appeals Code 2.3 for deadlines. For deadlines associated with transition from Primary to Secondary appeals, please see Appealing for a school place. Please inform the school your child has been allocated if you have a pending appeal, and you do not wish to start the allocated school until the result of the appeal is known.
You should receive an immediate acknowledgement of your appeal being lodged from noreply@juniperwebsites.co.uk.
Details of child that is the subject of the appeal.
Details of parent or legal guardian appealing on behalf of child.
Please note that if the appeal is for a child in Year 6 to Year 11, this section must be completed by a parent or legal guardian. An appeal for a Sixth Form place can be made by both the child and parent. If this is the case, please complete this with the correct contact details depending on who is appealing. See School Admission Appeals Code for further details regarding Sixth Form appeals.
Details of addresses and other children living in the home.
Please provide the child's home address below. The home address is considered as the address where the child lives for the majority of term time with a parent (as defined in Section 576 of the Education Act 1996). Where a child lives normally during the school week with more than one parent at different addresses, the home address accepted for the purposes of school admissions will be the one where the child spends the majority of term time. If a parent can show that their child spends an equal amount of time at two addresses during term time with a parent, they can choose which address to use on the application. If a parent has more than one home, we will accept the address where the parent and child normally live for the majority of the school term as the home address.
Other children (under 19 years old) living in the same household as the child
If you are moving house, please give details of new address and proposed date of move below. If you are likely to change address between the date you send in your notice of appeal and the date you wish your child to start at the school, the Panel will only consider your proposed address if you have entered into a definite legal commitment to move, for example, exchanged contracts on a house purchase or signed a lease tenancy agreement. If no such legal commitment has been made on your part, then the Panel will only take account of your present address when considering your appeal. In that case, it may be in your best interests to ask for the appeal hearing to be deferred until you enter into the appropriate legal commitment. That, however, is a matter for you to decide.
