Admissions Appeals

The Admissions Appeals process for all Equals Trust schools engages Nottinghamshire County Council’s Independent Appeals Panel.  None of the members who sit on the panels have any connection to Equals Trust schools.  Their decision is independent and final.

The Admissions Appeals process is free to parents/carers, as the cost is paid by the school.

Admission to Nursery

Admission to Nursery is governed and managed directly by the school.  Please contact the school office 01509 842326.
