School admissions are administered by Lincolnshire County Council. You can find out more about the appeals process on their website.
Admissions Appeals
Appealing a school place decision should only be done if you have already applied:
- for a school place for the September intake and have been refused a place at a school.
- to move schools for an in-year place and have been refused a place at a school.
To appeal Walton Academy’s decision to refuse a place, please complete the appeal form and return it to us together with any supporting evidence you wish the panel to consider.
Paper copies of the form are available on request. Please contact enquiries@walton.ac.org.uk for further assistance.
We will acknowledge receipt of the form within five school days.
