Appeals Process
What to do if your child is not offered a place.
At Edith Cavell Academy & Nursery, we follow the Norfolk County Council appeals process.
If you are refused a place at any school you have the right to appeal. More information on this can be found on the Schools Admission Appeals page on the Norfolk County Council website.
What happens if a school gets too many applications?
When there are not enough places at a school for all the children who have applied, we use oversubscription rules to decide who will get in. These are published on Edith Cavell's school page on Norfolk Schoolfinder
You need to consider these rules to determine what priority your child will have for a place.
