In Year Appeals Process
In Year Appeals Information
If you have not been offered a place at Clapton Girls’ Academy following an in-year appeal, the law entitles you to appeal to an Independent Appeal Panel. This panel is completely independent of the school and the Local Authority. In accordance with the 2022 School Admission Appeals Code Appeals, the admission authority and panels have elected for all admissions appeals to be held online.
Full details about the hearing will be sent to you with your invitation to the appeal hearing.
