Appeal packs
Hi
Can anyone tell me what is actually in the appeal packs? I'm wondering if there is a code of practice and a headteachers form, or is the headteacher contacted after parents have submitted their form with headteacher's details? Any info. would be greatfully received. I'm not going to actually receive a pack until March.

When you appeal for a community or controlled school ie through the Council's appeals procedure you get sent a letter asking you to complete the enclosed Notice of Appeal (yellow form) - a spare copy to keep is enclosed - and an appeals guide booklet which gives guidance on filling in the form and explains the process. The letter also invites you to contact the Council's legal officer if you need any further information about the procedure.
In appeals for community and controlled Grammar schools, when the appeal includes not reaching the required standard, the primary school is automatically contacted for a report.
If you are appealing for a foundation school I am afraid you will need to contact them direct about their procedures.

Thanks Alex. I'm dealing with a foundation school and will just have to be patient. We did write to the chair of govs. last November asking him to explain the school's appeal procedure but received no reply - I handed the letter in personally. The school receptionist is helpful but as she isn't dealing with the appeals has limited info. and I never quite make myself fully understood - mainly because this is a new area for me to have to deal with and also because I'm anxious. All will be revealed in March.
