Notes for Parents and Guardians on Admission Appeals
You can make an appeal if you have applied for a place at Woodside Junior School and the place has been refused.
Appeals are managed by the Buckinghamshire County Council.  Buckinghamshire County Council uses an independent panel to hear appeals and they consider the evidence from the parent/carers and the school to reach a judgement. 

You can:

  • appeal for any school which you have applied for and been refused
  • make an appeal as soon as your application for a school place is refused

For each school you appeal for, you must complete a separate appeal form. There will be a separate appeal for each school.

You cannot make two appeals for the same school in the same academic year.

Please refer to Buckinghamshire County Council link, where you can find more information regarding the appeal process.
