ADMISSIONS APPEALS FOR EYFS Starters ONLY 2024/2025
If your child is due to start Primary school in September 2025, you can appeal if you are refused a place at one of your preferred schools on National Offer Day (Wednesday, 16 April 2025). You needed to submit your appeal before Tuesday, 20th May 2025 for it to be considered by Friday, 18th July 2025. Any appeals received after this time will be heard within 40 school days from the deadline, or where reasonably possible in line with updated guidance from the Department for Education.
For late applications, appeals should be heard within 40 school days from the deadline for lodging appeals where possible, or within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged where reasonably possible in line with updated guidance from the Department for Education.
To make an appeal, please complete the form below and return to the school office or via email to office@abc.aquilatrust.co.uk. Hard copies are also available from the school office.
In-Year Admissions:
All admissions that do not form part of the coordinated Reception application process are called ‘in year admissions’.
All ‘in year’ school applications regardless of year group and point of entry should be made directly to the school that you wish your child to attend. If you are interested in your child joining Archbishop Courtenay Primary school, please make a formal application for a place. You will need to complete an In Year Admission Form (IYAF) and return it to the school office for processing.
You will be notified of the outcome of your application in writing within 10 school days. If there is no space available, you will have the option of appealing for a place, and your letter will explain how to do this.
Please find the In Year Admission Form below.
