Appeals for a place at Edgbarrow School
If we have not been able to offer your child a place, this is because there were more applications for the school than available places and not all requests for places could be met. Places are allocated in line with the published admissions criteria and your application was not ranked high enough to obtain a place.
Your home local authority should provide you with further information regarding the reason for refusals, waiting lists and how to exercise your right to appeal. Please refer to the documents below for further information, including our Reason for Refusal document:
