Admissions Appeals
Any parent or guardian who has been refused a school place for their child has the right to appeal the decision. If you are not allocated a place at a preferred school, you have the right to an independent appeal. You can appeal for more than one school. If you are not offered a place at your first preference school, Southampton City Council will send you appeal guidance with your allocation letter.
Further details on the appeals process can be found here:
In-year transfers
'In-Year transfers' are when pupils transfer from one school to another during an academic year (not at the start of one) and need an immediate school placement. This could be because you're moving home, or are unhappy with the school they currently attend. Parents/Carers will need to complete an In Year Transfer application on the Southampton City Council website.
