You will receive at least 14 calendar days’ notice of the date of the appeal hearing from the Appeal Clerk. 
Appeals for primary schools and academies will be held during May, June and July, wherever possible. 
After the appeal hearing you should receive a letter advising you of the outcome of your appeal within 7 calendar days. Please see RMBC guidance on appeals Admissions Appeals Timetable
 
There may be many appeals to consider involving several schools and academies. If you submit your appeal late you may be at a disadvantage because the appeals process has already begun or been completed. Your appeal will still be considered as soon as possible. This may be after other appeals for your preferred school(s)/academy(ies).
