School Admission Appeals Deadlines As the Admission Authority, The Active Learning Trust (ALT) manages the appeal process for all the schools with the Trust. Appeals for places at schools within ALT are governed by the current School Admission Appeals Code. This Code applies to admission appeals for all maintained schools and Academies in England. The Code requires that all admission authorities must ensure that appeals lodged by the appropriate deadline are heard with the following timescales:a) For applications made in the normal admission round, (i.e. those applicants who receive an offer of a secondary school place for September 2025 on the 1st March 2025 for Year 7 applications, and those who receive an offer of a primary school place for September 2025 on 16th April 2025 for Reception classes) appeals must be heard within 40 school days of the deadline for lodging appeals. See tables A & B below. b) For late applications, (i.e. those applicants whose application was received after the national closing date for applications for secondary and primary applications and who receive an offer of a secondary school place for September 2025 on or after 24th April 2025, or receive an offer of a primary school place for September 2025 on or after 18th May 2025) appeals should be heard within 40 schools days for the deadline for lodging appeals where possible, or within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged. See table C below. c) For applications for in-year admissions, appeals much be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged. See table C below. A “school day” is defined as any day in which a school is in session. This means that all weekends, bank holidays and school holidays are not counted.
