Again, the process is standard across all local authorities though, obviously, each appeal is based on a unique set of circumstances that are individual to your family. There is no magic formula; the success of an appeal is difficult to judge on face value as each school’s Governors’ Statement (their “defence” to an appeal) is individual to them in the same way the requirement for your child to attend a particular school is specific to you. I have considerable experience at appeal and can offer a more detailed summary and guidance if required.
