What are my chances?

According to the DfE's official admissions appeal statistics for 2023/24, 18.1% of primary appeals heard were successful. Worth considering, but not casually.

Reception, Y1, Y2

Infant class size appeals: 10.2% of heard appeals succeeded nationally

These cases are tightly restricted by law. Panels can only uphold them on narrow grounds, so they are significantly harder than other primary appeals.

Y3–Y6

Other primary appeals: 29.4% of heard appeals succeeded nationally

Still difficult, but materially more winnable than infant class size cases. Specific, evidenced reasons matter.

This is why the free assessment matters

We help you judge whether your case sits in the harder category or the more realistic one before you spend anything.
