Heene Church of England (Aided) Primary School

All appeals are heard by an independent panel and its decision is binding. If you decide to appeal, you will be sent a letter with the appeal hearing date. You will be invited to attend the appeal and you may take someone with you for support. The hearing will be conducted as informally as possible and you will have the opportunity to put forward your case and ask questions.

If your appeal is refused, the relevant local admissions authority will not consider a further application or appeal for a place at the same school, in the same academic year, unless there is a significant material change in your circumstances or those of the school.

You will need to complete a separate appeal form for each school, with individual reasons why you are appealing for that school.

Below is a provisional schedule for Heene Primary School appeals. Please note that these dates may change. You will be notified by the Appeals Administrator of the actual date of your appeal.

Appeals Timetable

County allocation date: 16/04/25
