Appeals

If you wish to appeal, it will be to the ‘admitting authority’ responsible for the school.
The majority of schools in Leicestershire (apart from Voluntary Aided Schools) use the Leicestershire County Council’s appeals service to conduct their appeals. So, you must use the council’s procedure to make your appeal, unless told otherwise.

Oversubscription List (OSL)

The position your child will appear on the Oversubscription List will depend on how closely they meet the school’s admissions priority criteria – see Your Guide to Education for more details.

If a place becomes available, and your child is at the top of the list, you will be contacted automatically to offer you the place. The majority of OSLs are maintained by Leicestershire County Council’s School Admissions Service. Voluntary Aided schools and some Academies maintain their own.
