APPEALS

If the school has advised you that we are not able to offer your child a place. Parents do of course have the right to appeal. If you feel after reading the oversubscription criteria that you have a sufficiently strong case for an independent panel to overrule the schools decision then please write a letter of appeal to The Clerk to the Board of Directors at The Canterbury Academy with any supplementary paperwork. Appeals where possible will be held within 30 school days for in year admissions and 40 school days when transitioning to the school.

If your child is due to start secondary school in September 2019 you can appeal between 1st March -29 March 2019 to guarantee that your appeal will be heard by 17 June 2019.   For applications made in the normal admission round, appeals must be heard within 40 school days of the deadline for lodging appeals.  For late applications, appeals should be heard within 40 schools days from the deadline for lodging appeals where possible, or within 30 schools days of the appeals being lodged.
