UK School Offer Days Approach, Appeal Process Highlighted

Parents to receive primary and secondary school offers soon, with detailed appeal rights if first-choice is not granted.

Primary and secondary school offer days are approaching, with primary offers being made on April 16 and secondary offers on March 1.
Parents have the right to appeal if their child is not offered a place at their first-choice school, with a two-stage appeal process in place.
Thousands of children may not get their first-choice school, but parents are encouraged to accept the offered school while appealing.
Appeal results are typically given in writing within five working days, and various reasons such as religion, special needs, or emotional reasons can be considered during the appeal.
In the UK, if a child is not given a place at the preferred school, they can be placed on a waiting list or parents can select a new preference from schools with openings.
