Parents are strongly advised to carefully read the full Academy Admissions Policy 2024-25 (see at the bottom of the page), information, and advice from the local authority. The main points to remember are:

  • You must submit an application form to your Local Education Authority via the eAdmissions website administered by the Local Authority if applying online by 31st October 2023. A place at any secondary school can only be offered if an application has been received.
  • Think carefully about the order in which you place your chosen schools on the form.  You should enter your most preferred school first on the list. Please remember to enter the full name of Harris Academy Chobham, there are several different Harris Academies and an entry of simply “Harris Academy” will be ignored.
  • Be sure to include at least three different schools on your preference form.

On 1st March 2024, the local authority will notify you of the school where your child has been offered a place.  If you are happy with the offer, you MUST ACCEPT this place online.

The appeal hearing

The Academy will arrange for an Independent Appeals Panel to consider the Academy's reasons for refusal and your reasons for wanting to attend the Academy. 

The Panel will consist of three people (two will have education experience and one will be an independent person with no education experience).

The Panel will consider the case put forward by you and the Academy. They must consider the admission arrangements for the Academy and the reasons why you want to attend that particular school.  The Panel must exercise its discretion by balancing the weight of your argument (for wanting to attend) against the Academy’s reasons for refusal i.e. the prejudice that one more student would cause to the education of the students already offered and the Health and Safety of all the students already attending the Academy, also taking into account the Academy's published admission arrangements. 

The decision of the Independent Appeals Panel is binding on the admissions authority and the Parents.

Please Note: The Academy does not provide help with appeals.
