Please complete one application for each child by either completing:
- online application form; or
- paper application form and returning by post
Inspiration Trust In Year Admission Application Form
All applications will be dealt with as quickly as possible, and you will be notified in writing of the decision within 15 school days.
If your child has an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan you should not complete an ‘in-year transfer’ application. You should discuss a change of schools with your EHC plan co-ordinator.
In-Year Transfer Appeal:
You have the right to appeal the decision if we do not offer your child a place at our academy.
The appeal hearing is an opportunity for:
- The Inspiration Trust (admission authority) to explain why your child was refused a place at the academy
- You to explain why you want your child to go to the academy
Before you appeal you should read advice about school admission appeals for parents and guardians on GOV.UK.
How to appeal:
Download the admission appeal form or contact governance@inspirationtrust.org asking for a copy of the form.
You need to complete and return the appeal form to governance@inspirationtrust.org OR Inspiration Trust, 28 Bethel Street Norwich, NR2 1NR
Make sure you explain why you’re appealing for a place at the academy and include any supporting information.
When the appeal hearing will take place:
Appeal hearings will be organised by the Local Authority on behalf of the Inspiration Trust. You will be invited to an appeal hearing within 30 school days of the date your completed appeal form is received. The hearing will be conducted by video call using Microsoft Teams, or by phone or using written submissions.
The Local Authority will inform you how and when your appeal will be heard at least 10 school days before the hearing takes place.
