Workshop 3

Admissions, Applications and Appeals
Simon Goulden, PaJeS

 

For many governors, especially newer ones, the whole school admissions process can be difficult to understand, challenging to explain and a headache to operate. And just when you think you have understood it, the rules might change. Parents will often turn to you for help and advice, but can you give it?

This session will try to walk you through the relevant legislation, the procedures that schools have to carry out and the methodology of dealing with appeals.
