As a parent you have the right to apply for any school you wish for your child either in Lincolnshire or outside the county. However, this does not mean that your child will gain a place at your preferred school. Every parent who has been refused a school place must be offered the right of appeal.

As mentioned previously, every parent has the right to apply for any school they wish for their child. However, this does not mean that the child will gain a place at the preferred school and if this is the case, the parent must be offered the right of appeal.

The school appeals process can be exceedingly difficult to navigate for the lay person, due to legal obsticals and official procedures and whilst support is available it is not always easy to understand. Usually parents who attend a school admissions appeal find it extremely daunting, often likening it to a 'mini court' where they get feelings of being 'on trial'.

Nationally, approximately 25% of parents who appeal win their case, Jane's success rate for winning school admissions appeals for parent's first choice school in the accademic year 2010/11 was 88%.

Parents are normally allowed only one school admission appeal per academic year, so, it is vital that you give it your very best shot for your child's future.

Getting professional advice and support with your school appeal will secure you a greater chance of success in winning your appeal and obtaining a place for your child at your preferred school.
