Hertfordshire school appeals

If you've been allocated an unsuitable school, then you'll need to be proactive. You could sell up, but the average cost of moving is £9,500, and there's still no guarantee that you'll get the school that you want. You might go private, although the average cost per pupil is £10,239 per year.

But there is another option. Appeal. A third of all parents will win their appeal – so isn't it worth your best shot? Our invaluable guides will help you through the next few months, holding your hand, every step of the way.

There are two versions: the Nationwide Guide and the Hertfordshire Guide. Both are packed with advice and inside information. They were updated in 2011 and incorporate recent changes to the admission system. The guides set out your legal position as simply as possible, and will help you take on the admission authority. They cover all appeals, including notorious key stage 1 appeals. The guides are available as e-booklets for just £6.49 each - and will be emailed to you within hours of payment.

Here are some tips to get your appeal started
