Complaints about appeals
If you are unhappy with the way the appeal hearing was conducted, you can complain to the Local Government Ombudsman.
The Ombudsman is unable to overturn a panel’s decision but may suggest a fresh appeal with a new panel and clerk.
Complaints about academy appeals need to be sent to the Education and Skills Funding Agency by:
- emailing academy.questions@education.gsi.gov.uk
- writing to Admission Appeal Complaints, Academies Central Unit, Education Funding and Skills Agency, Earlsdon Park, Butts Road, Coventry, CV1 3BH
