If a family is refused a place
In 2026, families in Birmingham lodged 1,231 appeals about a school place.
853 of them were heard by a panel and 94 succeeded, which is about 11 in every 100 heard.
The other 378 did not reach a panel. Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.
This is a record of decisions already made. A panel hears one case at a time and decides it on what that family sets out, so these figures do not indicate what would happen in any particular appeal.
Source: Department for Education, admission appeals in England, reporting year 2026. Counts every school in this council area. The share that succeeded is taken over appeals heard by a panel, not over appeals lodged.
