If a family is refused a place
In 2026, families in Bradford lodged 995 appeals about a school place.
788 of them were heard by a panel and 96 succeeded, which is about 12 in every 100 heard.
The other 207 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 Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.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.
