If your child has been refused a place at one of your preferred schools, you may appeal the decision of the admissions authority. 

Appeals timetable for September 2026 entry resulting from year of entry or transfer applications

Appeals will not start being heard until after the relevant closing date has passed. Appeals lodged after these dates will be heard within 40 school days of the appeal deadline or 30 school days of being lodged, whichever is the later date.

In-year or immediate entry appeals

Appeals resulting from in-year admission applications will be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged.

Appellants will be sent notification of their appeal hearing at least 10 clear school days in advance of the hearing. Appellants will be sent a copy of the school's case, normally a week in advance of the hearing.

Appellants must ensure that any further evidence not included with their initial appeal is received by the stated deadline, which will be clearly highlighted in the appeal hearing notification letter. Any additional evidence or information received after this date might not be considered at the appeal hearing.

Surrey County Council is the admissions authority for this school. To appeal for a school place at Thames Ditton Infant School, please go to Appeal for a School Place on their website.
