Hi all,

Just completing application for an appeal, one of the questions are:

I agree to waive a 10 day notification of my appeal date if necessary. yes/no

Any ideas? Should I say yes or no?

Interesting - no one has thought to ask this before.

It depends whether you need time to plan your other commitments or to prepare for an appeal by video conference. This is more likely to be critical if your child has no school place at present and you are seeking admission now. Because it's urgent, the appeal panel might be able to slot you in for a hearing at very short notice, say, in two days' time. In this situation would you be willing to waive your right to 10 days' notice?

If you are appealing for September entry (and submit your appeal on time), your hearing is unlikely to be before May, so everything ought to be planned well in advance. It probably won't make any difference whether you say 'Yes' or 'No', but if you want to be 100% certain of getting 10 days' notice because it matters to you, say 'No'!
