A decision by an appeal committee whether or not to offer a school place is binding on the admissions authority. If your appeal for a <span class="gen">enter council name</span> community school is unsuccessful, you may not appeal for the same school within one calendar year unless there has been a material change in your circumstances.</p><p>Acceptance of a place at a school does not affect your right to appeal for a place at another school. However, if you decide to appeal for any of your preferences, it is wise to secure a place for your child at an alternative school in case your appeal is unsuccessful. This is because secondary transfer appeals are normally heard during the second half of the summer term. By this time, there will be very few alternative schools which still have vacancies. <span class="gen">enter council name</span> LEA is always willing to discuss alternative schools with vacancies at any stage in the process.</p><p>The acceptance of a place at an alternative school does not affect your right of appeal.</p><span class="gen">email address here</span><span class="gen">phone number here</span><span class="gen">sms phone number here</span><span class="gen">fax number here</span><span class="gen">minicom number here</span><span class="gen">postal address here</span><h3> <a href="/ccm/services/pid.jsp?pid=705"> Providing Information (705) </a></h3>
