ESSEX APPEALS

Post by brainiac »

Has anybody successfully won an appeal in the Essex area?
If yes, I would be grateful for any advice?
THANK YOU

Dear brainiac

I hope someone may have some local information for you, but all appeals are basically the same in that they must conform with the law and Code of Practice. The main differences are (1) how strict the panel is [success rates vary enormously], and (2) how the appeals are organised [e.g. whether non-qualification is being dealt with separately, or, as is more common, forms part of an appeal for an oversubscribed school – See Q&As, E27].

You can find out about success rates for appeals at a particular school by putting in a request under the Freedom of Information Act. This should be to the LA in the case of an LA controlled school, or to the school itself if it is a foundation or VA school.
