Update on delays on placing appeals
Please accept our apologies if you have not heard back yet regarding your specific appeal.
All the teams involved in the school placement and appeals process have been working incredibly hard to place as many children as possible in their requested school and to plan appeals for unsuccessful requests.
Once again please accept our apologies for any distress this delay is causing for your family.
Appeal a refused school placing request
If your school placing request was turned down, you can appeal the decision. Your appeal will be heard by an independent appeal committee who will consider your request. If there is extra information that you want the appeal committee to know, you can send this to us after you have submitted your appeal request.

Read about how to appeal on the Scottish Government website.
