Information relating to In Year Admissions
Where there are places available but more applications than places, the published oversubscription criteria, as set out in the admission arrangements for 2024 / 2025, will be applied. In Year Admissions - Wirral Borough Council. Parents are advised to read the admission arrangements carefully before making their application.
If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list. Please see the admission arrangements for more details.
You will be advised of the outcome of your application in writing as soon as possible. Applicants must be informed of the outcome of their application within 15 school days of receipt, but the aim is to notify applicants of the outcome of their application within 10 school days of receipt.
Appeals
If your request for a place at a particular school has been refused you can appeal. This applies to Community Controlled, Voluntary Aided, Academy and Trust Schools.
How to appeal
If your child is refused a place at any school, you will receive a letter from the Local Authority. This will explain why your child has been refused a place and which options are available to you.
To make an appeal you must complete the School Appeals Form.
Preparing for an appeal hearing
You will receive notification of the date at least 10 school days in advance of the Appeal hearing.
A statement outlining the reasons as to why your child has not been offered a place will be sent in a reasonable time before the date of the hearing.
The Panel’s decision
The Panel members will make their decision in private. If there are multiple appeals for a school no decisions can be made until all the appeals have been heard. This could be three or four working days after your appeal has been heard.
You will be informed of their decision, preferably by email, within five working days. If your appeal is successful your child will be awarded a place at the preferred school.
