Guidance for parents and guardians on school admission appeals

Last updated: 15 February 2023

Children on a list for their preferred school (continued interest or waiting lists)

Appeal Panels must not take account of:

  • where the admission authority has placed a child on a continued interest or waiting list
  • the fact that appeals have not been made for other children on the continued interest or waiting list

Appeal Panels must not make any decision relating to the continued interest or waiting list.

If you have any queries about continued interest or waiting lists, you should contact the Admissions Team (not the Appeals Team).
