School Appeals 2024

This information has been taken from the Tameside Website

Below are the dates for appealing a decision for the September 2023 entry, this includes in-year transfers.

You’ll be sent notification of your appeal hearing, alongside relevant documentation, including details of how to join the hearing, at least 14 days in advance of your hearing date.

If you wish to submit further evidence, which was not included with your initial appeal application, you must ensure that this is received at last 3 working days in advance of your hearing date. You can send this to schoolappeals@tameside.gov.uk

Any additional evidence or information received after this date might not be considered at the appeal hearing. The Independent Appeal Panel will then decide whether it should be considered, taking into account its significance and the effect of a possible need to adjourn the hearing.

In-Year Applications

An application can be made for a place for a child at any time outside the admission round and the child will be admitted where there are available places.

An application should be made by completing the in-year admissions application form and returning it to: schooladmissions@tameside.gov.uk

If your child is a Baptised Roman Catholic please also complete the supplementary information form.

Where there are places available but more applications than places, the published oversubscription criteria, as set out in the admission arrangements will be applied. Parents are advised to read the admission arrangements carefully before making their application. The oversubscription criteria are set out below:

• If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list. Please see the admission arrangements for more details.

 

• You will be advised of the outcome of your application in writing as soon as possible. Applicants must be informed of the outcome of their application within 15 school days of receipt, but the aim is to notify applicants of the outcome of their application within 10 school days of receipt.

 

• You have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel if your application is unsuccessful.

 

• If you have any questions in relation to in-year admissions please contact the Admissions Team at Tameside MBC: schooladmissions@tameside.gov.uk
