Admission Appeals
If you have not been offered a place at Jane Austen College Sixth Form you can appeal against that decision to an Independent Appeal Panel.
Before you appeal
You should read advice about school admission appeals for parents and guardians on GOV.UK.
How to appeal
- Download the Admissions Appeal form or contact governance@inspirationtrust.org asking for a copy of the form.
- You need to complete and return the appeal form to governance@inspirationtrust.org OR Inspiration Trust, 28 Bethel Street Norwich, NR2 1NR by 31st August 2025.
Make sure you explain why you’re appealing for a place at the sixth form and include any supporting information.
When the appeal hearing will take place
Where the offer of a place is conditional upon exam results, appeals must be heard within 30 school days of confirmation of those results; where the offer of a place would not have been conditional upon exam results, appeals must be heard within 40 school days of the deadline for lodging appeals.
Independent appeal hearings will be organised by the Local Authority on behalf of the admission authority. The hearing will be conducted by video call using Microsoft Teams, or by phone or using written submissions.
The Local Authority will inform you how and when your appeal will be heard at least 10 school days before the hearing takes place.
