Appeals

NEW Appeals E-form

TIMETABLE FOR APPEALS FOR ADMISSION

On the 1st March 2024 all Local Authorities informed parents of the secondary school their child has been allocated. Not all parents will necessarily have received their first choice of school. For September 2024 the full allocation of 170 student places has been made at Cardinal Allen Catholic High School. If your child has not been allocated a place at Cardinal Allen and you would like to try to secure a place for them, please follow the process below. We would strongly advise you not to reject the place at the school your child has been allocated until you hear the outcome of the Appeal process.

1st-22nd March 2024 Appeals should be made online and the online form is available from the Lancashire County Council website at:

https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/children-education-families/schools/appeal-against-an-admission-decision/secondary-school-appeals

By the 22nd March 2024 Appeal forms to be received by Cardinal Allen Catholic High School via Lancashire County Council in order for the appeals to be heard in the first round of hearings.

Any additional documents that parents/carers wish to provide (i.e. medical evidence or baptismal certificate) should be sent with the Appeals Form or brought in direct to the school FAO Mrs Sales, Headteacher’s PA.

20th-24th May 2024 Appeals that have been submitted by 22nd March 2024 will be heard by an Independent Appeals Panel.

If you have any questions regarding appeals to Cardinal Allen please feel free to contact school to have a chat with the Headteacher or his PA
