Primary school appeal

Find out if your primary appeal has a case. Before you spend anything.

Answer a few questions about your child, the school you want, and your reasons. Get an honest assessment of your grounds. Then decide whether to proceed.

Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 appeals may fall under infant class size rules, which limit your grounds. We tell you upfront if that applies to you.

What are my chances?

According to the DfE's official admissions appeal statistics for 2023/24, 18.1% of primary appeals heard were successful. Worth considering, but not casually.

Reception, Y1, Y2

Infant class size appeals: 10.2% of heard appeals succeeded nationally

These cases are tightly restricted by law. Panels can only uphold them on narrow grounds, so they are significantly harder than other primary appeals.

Y3–Y6

Other primary appeals: 29.4% of heard appeals succeeded nationally

Still difficult, but materially more winnable than infant class size cases. Specific, evidenced reasons matter.

This is why the free assessment matters

We help you judge whether your case sits in the harder category or the more realistic one before you spend anything.
