School Admission Appeals

Under the School Admissions Code 2021 and the School Admission Appeals Code 2022, all admission authorities must offer parents and carers the right to appeal when a school place application has been refused. Milton Keynes City Council (MKCC), as the admission authority for community and voluntary controlled schools within the city, has a statutory duty to ensure that the appeals process is administered in full compliance with these requirements.

MKCC must provide an impartial, efficient, and legally compliant appeals service, supporting parents and guardians through the process, coordinating appeal hearings, and ensuring that independent appeal panels are convened in accordance with statutory guidance. The service must also maintain accurate records and supply information required for statutory reporting and for responding to Freedom of Information and Subject Access Requests.

Milton Keynes City Council (MKCC) is seeking to appoint a supplier to deliver a school admissions appeals hearing service in full compliance with the School Admission Appeals Code 2022.
