Appeals Guidance
Choosing your child’s primary or secondary school can be a difficult decision for you to make. The law does not give you a choice of school but it allows you to ‘express a preference’. In Cheshire West and Chester most parents and carers get a place for their child the school they want. However, occasionally demand is higher than there are places available; therefore, some parents are refused a place for their child. If this happens you have a legal right to appeal.

Preparing your child for school

The aim of the booklet is to provide an understanding of how parents, carers and practitioners can help children to be ready for school.
