If a family is refused a place

In 2026, families in North Yorkshire lodged 293 appeals about a school place.

201 of them were heard by a panel and 43 succeeded, which is about 21 in every 100 heard.

The other 92 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 Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.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.
