Year 7 Appeals

Year 7 Appeal Information and Timeline

If you have not been offered a place following a Year 7 application, you have the right to appeal.  The panel is completely independent of the school and the Local Authority.   Please use the link to the Appeal form below.  Please send any evidence or supporting material to admissions@bthcc.org

Appeal form Year 7 Appeal Application 2025

 

Important Information

You do not need to attach photographs, videos or schoolwork to the appeal form.  Panels are NOT allowed to assess a child’s talents or academic performance.  Panel members receive their appeal papers through the post.  For safeguarding issues photographs and links to videos cannot be sent through the post.  This is not censorship but a policy to protect the child.

Appeals are because the school is full after offering places to applicants solely on its published admission criteria (please see the Admission Policy for further information) up to its published admission number PAN.

Published Admission Number (PAN)

Years 7, 8 and 9–290 per year group                 

Years 10 and 11–250 per year group
