Procedure for School Appeal Hearings

In line with Government legislation on School Admission Appeals, appeal hearings in Stoke-on-Trent will be held via video conference, using Microsoft Teams, or you can ask for your appeal to be heard based on the written information you have submitted.

If you have applied for your child to change schools part-way through the year, an appeal will be heard within 30 school days from the date we receive your appeal.

For school places starting September 2025, the appeal deadlines are:

For on-time appeals, those lodged by the deadlines, appeals will be heard within 40 school days of the deadline or 30 school days of being lodged, whichever is later.

You will be told about your appeal hearing approximately ten school days before the hearing, via email, and sent a copy of the school’s case approximately seven school days in advance of the hearing.

If you wish to submit further evidence, it must be received at least eight clear working days before the hearing date. Evidence received after this date may not be considered at the hearing.
