Waiting Lists & Appeals information

We’ve had quite a few phone calls about waiting lists and appeals.

Waiting Lists

For parents and carers who unfortunately didn’t get a place at St Mark’s for September, but put us down as 1st choice or otherwise, a waiting list gets established. From Tuesday 28th April, we can let you know information about your child’s position on the waiting list. Please email the school (rather than phone) at adminoffice@st-markscofe.hants.sch.uk, stating the parents full name and phone number, the child’s full name, address and DOB. We can then check against our records and get back to you with the information asap.

Appeals

Appeals are managed through Hampshire Admissions. More information can be found here.

The deadline for appeals is the 18th May 2020. It is worth noting that there is much work involved in an appeal for both school and parent, and that very few appeals are successful. It is also worth reading the admission policy for Sept 2020-21, as this is critical to any appeal made. Decisions made are based on the criteria in the policy.
