Admissions Appeals
Any parent or guardian who has been refused a school place for their child has the right to appeal the decision.
If you are not allocated a place at a preferred school, you have the right to an independent appeal. You can appeal for more than one school.
If you are not offered a place at your first preference school, Southampton City Council will send you appeal guidance with your allocation letter.
Appeals must be lodged by the dates shown on the local authority appeal timetable. This is published before offers are made. Other schools will have their own arrangements.
Applying for and in-year transfer between schools
If you wish to transfer your child to another school within Southampton you will need to complete this process through the Citizen Portal on Southampton City Council's website (this is a separate login to any other account you may have with SCC) on this link- Your Citizen Portal account. Your child's current school will require you to complete a Leavers form.
