Appeals
Please note that the academy does not have any authority or influence over the offer of places which are determined in accordance with our oversubscriptions criteria which can be found in our admissions policy. The offer of places is administered by the local authority.
If you have been unlucky and have not secured a place at the academy despite applying to the local authority for one, and feel that you have grounds, then you are entitled to appeal.
A parent or carer who wishes to appeal against the decisions of the local authority in offering places should give notice that they intend to appeal by e mailing the academy at info@harrisriverside.org.uk.
Parents or carers appealing will then be asked to complete an appeals form and submit it to the academy with any supporting evidence or documents. The appeals form can be downloaded from this page (below) or the academy can provide one.
The deadline for appeals for the academic year commencing September 2020 is 4pm on Monday 13th April 2020.
Appeals will be held during June 2020. Appeals are heard by an independent panel.The appeals panel should take into account your arguments, any arguments put forward by the academy and the academy's admissions policy and oversubscriptions criteria.
Decisions of the appeal panel are binding on all parties. Only one appeal is allowed per applicant.
