School admissions appeals
About this service
If you are unsuccessful in securing a place at your preferred school(s), you have the right of appeal to an independent appeal panel.
At the appeal hearing you will have the opportunity to present your appeal case in person and the admission authority will explain why a school place was not given.
If your preferred school is a community of voluntary controlled school, you will need to appeal to Wiltshire Council, who acts as the admission authority. Appeals for voluntary aided or foundation schools should be made to the admission authority for the school. If you are unsure of the admission authority for the school you wish to appeal for, please contact Customer Services for advice on 01225 713010.
