  • Step 2: Our admissions team will assess if there is a school place and notify you.
  • Step 3: If appropriate, they will arrange a tour and liaise with you about next steps.

Any parent not offered a place has a right of appeal to an Independent Appeal Panel. The panel would be entirely independent of the Governing Body. Any parent wishing to appeal should submit their appeal, within 20 days of the place being refused, to the Clerk of the Governing Body; clerk@ullswatercc.co.uk, and this will be passed on to the Independent Appeal Panel.  Appeals must be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged, and appellants will be given at least 10 school days’ notice of their appeal hearing.

More information on the appeals timetable can be found here.
