Time taken to consider the application
The school will process the case as soon as possible. If a decision cannot be reached on the case within one month, you will receive a written message stating the reason as to why. You will also be informed of when the decision is expected to be made.
Possibilities to appeal; procedure
If you are dissatisfied with the decision, you can appeal to the school within three weeks from the date on which you received it. If the school does not make any decision after having had time to consider the matter, you can appeal as if a decision had been made. Explain what you are dissatisfied with and why you believe the decision should be changed. If the school upholds its decision, the case will be passed on to the county governor, who will determine whether the appeal should be sustained.
If the school has not given you a response within a reasonable amount of time, you can appeal as if the school had made a decision.
