Appeals

1st March 2024 - The offer of a place in a school will be given.

28th March 2024 - This is the date by which an appeal should be submitted for a place if you do not want the school that you have been allocated.

We receive a large number of appeals each year. Last year for our prospective Year 7 there were over 60 appeals. Appeals for our September 2024 intake will be heard in May 2024.

Once you have registered for an appeal, you will be sent a letter and asked to contact us to confirm you wish to go ahead with your appeal. If we do not hear from you by 7th April 2024, then it will be assumed that you do not wish your appeal to be heard.

Your appeal should state your reasons for your request and any additional information/documentation/appendices should be submitted 15 working days before the appeal to allow time for it to be copied and distributed to all the interested parties. At least 10 working days before your appeal, unless you choose to waive this right, you will be sent detailed information regarding the process and also the date, time, place and names of the independent panel members who will hear the appeal.

Fulston Manor School is enormously over-subscribed, and it is important that you prepare your case, with evidence, very carefully taking note of the guidance that will be sent to you.

All other appeals known as ‘in-year’ admissions and any appeals for Year 7 submitted after 28th March 2024 will be heard within 40 working days of submitting the request.

We are unable to guarantee that any original work/evidence/folders, submitted as part of the appeal, will be returned. Appellants may wish to submit copies in advance and then take important original documents verifying evidence to the appeal. 

Appellants are respectfully asked to note that an excessive amount of supporting evidence should not be necessary. Guidance regarding this matter will be given once the appeal has been submitted.

If you have any queries regarding appeals, then please contact our Admissions Team, who will be able to help you.
