Become a School Appeal Volunteer

School Admission Appeals

Parents have a statutory right of appeal if they have been refused a place at a school, and the system relies upon volunteers to hear these appeals.

West Sussex County Council recruits and trains their volunteers to hear these appeals  and the next training is due to take place in January and February 2026.

See the attached poster for more information and for an informal chat about the role, and if it is right for you, contact: appealsadministrator@westsussex.gov.uk
