About the school

Only use this form to appeal for Barking and Dagenham schools that were listed on your application that your child was not offered a place at.

If you did not apply for the school below on your application form, you cannot appeal for that school.

If the school you are appealing for is outside the London borough of Barking and Dagenham, you must contact the relevant admissions authority for that school.

Select the schools you want to appeal for, that we have turned down.

Your appeal hearing

All appeals are held online via a Microsoft Teams video link.   Some parents who do not have access to a computer, ask a friend to help.   If this is not possible, please telephone the appeal’s office on 020 8227 2152, at least two working days before your appeal hearing.

Important information

Note 2

Attach any other statements and supporting documents you want to include with your appeal form to email carol.belshaw@lbbd.gov.uk

About your needs

You can invite someone to the hearing to represent you. This person can be:

  • a friend, interpreter or adviser (for example a choice adviser)
  • a local politician
  • an employee of the local education authority (such as an educational social worker, special education needs adviser or learning mentor) as long as this will not lead to a conflict of interest (for example, if the politician is a governor of the school that you are appealing for).
