To prepare for your school appeal in Hartlepool, you'll need to compile a few key documents and information. Here’s a breakdown of what you should consider gathering for your appeal:
| Documents/Information | Details |
|---|---|
| Appeal Application Form | Request this form from the School Admissions Team. |
| Reasons for Appeal | Clearly outline why you believe the decision to refuse your child a place was incorrect. |
| Supporting Evidence | Gather any relevant evidence that supports your case. This could include your child’s academic records, letters of recommendation, or any other pertinent documentation. |
| Notification of Hearing | Wait for the letter that will inform you of the hearing date and time (you will receive at least 10 school days' notice). |
You must submit a separate appeal for each school and each child. If you cannot attend the hearing in person, your written submission will be considered, or someone else can attend on your behalf. For more information, you can learn more here.
