S鈥媍hool Appeal Panel Members

丝瓜视频 is looking for volunteers to join independent panels which make decisions on appeals for school places.

W鈥媓en a child is refused a place at a school within the 丝瓜视频, their parent or carer is entitled to appeal against the decision. D鈥媢ring an appeal hearing, independent panels make decisions on whether to uphold or dismiss appeals. T鈥媓ere are typically three people who sit on an appeal panel: one chair and at least two other panel members. Each panel will have an independent appeals clerk who is responsible for the administrative arrangements, and will explain everything that happens during the appeal, and what will follow. The clerk will also provide independent and impartial advice on the appeals process and admissions law. Panel hearings take place in the day, during school term time, and most frequently during the months of May, June and July.

P鈥媋nel members will receive a payment for each day that they sit, and they will also receive reimbursement for travel expenses.

If you are interested in applying for the role of a panel member, please contact Lynn Derbyshire, Clerk to the Appeals, by emailing: lynnderbyshire@gmail.com
