In-Year Transfer Appeal

You have the right to appeal the decision if we do not offer your child a place at our school.

The appeal hearing is an opportunity for:

  • Clarion Academy Trust (admission authority) to explain why your child was refused a place at the school
  • You to explain why you want your child to go to the school

Before you appeal:

You should read advice about school admission appeals for parents and guardians on GOV.UK.

How to appeal:

Download the Pakefield Appeals Form or contact the Chair of Governors via Chair@pakefield.org.uk asking for a copy of the form.

You need to complete and return the appeal form to Chair@pakefield.org.uk OR Dr Cindy Peek, Chair of Governors, Pakefield High School, London Road, Pakefield, NR33 7AQ

Make sure you explain why you’re appealing for a place at the school and include any supporting information.

When the appeal will take place:

Appeal hearings will be organised by Clarion Academy Trust. You will be invited to an appeal hearing within 30 school days of the date your completed appeal form is received. The hearing will usually be conducted online using Microsoft Teams.

The Local Authority will inform you how and when your appeal will be heard at least 10 school days before the hearing takes place.
