Which school?

If there are more placing requests than places available, the education authority will allocate places according to a clear set of rules. If your placing request is turned down, you can refer this decision to an independent appeal committee set up by the authority. 

If the appeal committee backs the authority's decision, you can refer the case to the sheriff for your area. To find out more, a booklet produced by the Scottish Government will tell you all you need to know about the appeals process.
