Appeals and waiting list information for schools outside of Luton

You must contact the relevant local authority to find out information on their appeals and waiting list process.

To obtain the contact details for the local authorities, you can read our document:

After you've made an appeal

We will acknowledge receipt of your appeal within two weeks. An independent committee, called The Independent Education Appeals Panel (‘Appeals Panel’), will hear your appeal as soon as possible after the receipt of the appeal form. This will normally be within 30 school days of the application being received. You will normally be given written notice of at least 10 school days before the date of the appeal hearing. 

You may agree to a shorter notice period and you should confirm this with the Clerk to the Appeal Panel in writing.

if you have not received acknowledgement of your appeal within two weeks of posting or submitting your appeal, you should contact the Appeals team.
