Every year more than 100,000 families have to fight schools and local authorities to win a place for their child at the state school of their choice. But fewer than one in three will be successful at their admissions appeal. This practical handbook is for anyone whose child has been turned down. In easy steps it will tell you:

• If you have a case that you can win
• What information you will need
• Who can help you build a case
• What to expect at the appeal hearing
• What your rights are
• What questions to ask at the appeal

This new edition has been updated to reflect that latest code of practice for schools.
