Appeals
If parents are unhappy about not being offered a place for their child, they may appeal to an Independent Appeal Panel. Parents wishing to appeal for a school can do so online via
www.havering.gov.uk/admissions/appeal.
In-Year Admissions
The in-year admissions process is for parents who have just moved into Havering and need to apply for a school place at a local school for their child during the school year, or for parents who want to transfer their child from one school to another. The Local Authority will continue to administer and co-ordinate in-year applications for all schools in Havering.
