Why We Built School Place Appeal
Most parents only deal with a school admission refusal once — usually with a short deadline, an unfamiliar evidential test, and no real idea where to start. You know your child, and you know why this school matters. What’s missing isn’t conviction. It’s knowing which grounds actually apply, what evidence a panel actually weighs, and how to put your case in writing so it can’t be ignored.
What we actually offer
A solicitor or education consultant can cost hundreds or thousands of pounds — money most families don’t have to spare on top of everything else a refusal already costs them. School Place Appeal is a low-cost, easy way to get a genuinely deep understanding of your child’s case: which grounds actually apply, what evidence supports them, and what’s missing.
We turn that understanding into your response: a complete Appeal Pack — grounds assessment, evidence review, a submission-ready statement and hearing preparation — for a fixed £29.99. Not a subscription, not a solicitor’s hourly rate — built to turn what you already know about your child into a case an appeal panel can’t ignore.
What we actually believe
Every ground, assessed honestly
We check your case against every ground that could apply — never inflated to make you feel better, or to make the product look more impressive than the evidence supports.
We tell you what's missing, not just what's there
A missing-evidence report is part of every Appeal Pack, because knowing what would strengthen your case is often as useful as the case itself.
No predicted outcomes, ever
No service, including this one, can know what a panel, committee or tribunal will decide. We measure how well-prepared your case is — not your chances.
Readiness is four scores, not one
Evidence completeness, policy alignment, documentation quality and argument clarity are shown separately, so you can see exactly where your case is strong.
What School Place Appeal is not
School Place Appeal is an automated, guided tool — not a solicitor, not an education law specialist, and not a substitute for independent legal advice. It doesn’t cover a named-placement SEN plan dispute (an EHCP, IDP, CSP, or statement of SEN), which follows an entirely separate process with its own tribunal. See our full disclaimer for the complete picture.

The first step — reading your case and showing you which grounds are worth checking — is free.
