Admission Appeals
Where an application for a place is refused, this will be notified to you in writing and the letter will clearly set out the reasons for the refusal.
All parents have a statutory right of appeal against a refusal of a place, which will be heard before an Independent Admission Appeal Panel. Full details of the statutory right of appeal, including the deadline by which the request for an appeal and grounds must be lodged, will be included in the refusal letter. The way in which appeals are determined is set out in the School Admission Appeals Code 2022.
If you wish to appeal, you should write to the Clerk to the Governors, Greig City Academy, High Street, Hornsey, London N8 7NU, explaining the reasons for your appeal.
The deadline for Secondary Transfer appeals (for entry to Y7 in September 2024) is May 17, 2024.
