Information relevant to an appeal is submitted to the schools admissions appeals service by the parents or carers of a child who has been refused a place at their
preferred school, excluded from their school, or denied home to school transport.
The basic information will include: name; address; age; details of the current school; and reasons for submitting an appeal.

required to process special category information, particularly medical information, if relevant to the appeal.
