School Admission Appeals Timetable

Appeals resulting from in-year admission applications will be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged.

For Year 7 entry September 2025 please see the timetable below:

NB: Appeals will not start being heard until after the relevant closing date has passed nor during our school holidays.

Appeals lodged after these dates will be heard within 40 school days of the appeal deadline or 30 school days of being lodged, whichever is the later date.

Appellants will be sent notification of their appeal hearing at least 10 clear school days in advance of the hearing, by the Surrey CC Schools Appeals Service.  Appellants will be sent a copy of the school's case, normally a week in advance of the hearing.

Appellants must ensure that any further evidence not included with their initial appeal is received by the stated deadline, which will be clearly highlighted in the appeal hearing notification letter.  Any additional evidence or information received after this date might not be considered at the appeal hearing.
