If you made an application to St Julie's Catholic High School and your child has not been offered a place on offer day (1st March), you have the right to appeal against the decision. You have 20 school days following offer day to submit your appeals information to the Archdiocese of Liverpool. Please visit https://www.liverpoolcatholic.org.uk/department/education/admissions-and-appeals  for further information and advice regarding the appeals process and appeals timetable. You may also contact the Margaret Clitherow Centre, Croxteth Drive, Liverpool, L17 1AA, or call on 0151 522 1000 to request a form.

Appeals are heard by a committee called an Appeal Panel, independent of the school. Your appeal case will go before an Independent Appeals Panel, and you will be invited to the hearing to present your case. This is an opportunity for the school to give a detailed explanation of why we cannot admit your child, and this is also your opportunity to present your reasons as to why you believe we should admit your child to St Julie's.

You should think carefully about whether or not you wish to appeal against the decision.

You will need to consider:

• The Admissions Policy for not admitting pupils, which clearly states how applications will be dealt with in the event of the school being oversubscribed.
• Your reasons for wanting your child to attend St Julie's Catholic High School and the strength of your case (based on the oversubscription criteria).
