In year appeals

Once you have made a direct application to the school using the Supplementary Information Form (can be found below), you will be sent registration details from the Admission team at county. You will be able to lodge an appeal using the appeals online system. Appeals resulting from in year admission applications will be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being lodged

Transfer appeals

Hertfordshire parents access the online system via their admissions account.  Parents who live out-of-county or who applied on paper should use our appeals online system and will need to contact our Customer Service Centre on 0300 123 4043 in order to obtain their registration details to gain access.

Appeals Information:

Herts online portal has now changed.  All parents now need to set up an appeals account in order to appeal.  The online appeals portal is the same for all parents and is found here: School Admission Appeal | Hertfordshire County Council

In order to set up an account, the following codes are needed:

  • Application Reference Number
  • Child ID

Transfer appeals

Hertfordshire parents can access the codes they need in order to set up an appeals account via their admissions account.  They can see them on the page where they are told their allocation. 

Parents who live out-of-county or who applied on paper will need to contact our Customer Service Centre on 0300 123 4043 in order to obtain their registration details to gain access. These they will be sent via automated email.

In Year appeals

Admissions need to send parents the codes they need in a letter.  To make sure this happens, you must notify the Local Authority’s Admissions and Transport team every time you consider an application in one of these ways:

  • log into SEAM and complete the ‘Submit Notification’ form, or
  • Email the admissions officer for your school

On receipt of that notification, the Admissions and Transport team will send the parents their registration details so they can create an account and lodge an appeal.  Please note that if you receive a direct application and do not inform admissions, parents will not be able to appeal online. 

NB If all your applications are dealt with centrally by the Admission Transport team, you do not need to notify admissions in this way. 

If you require any further information please contact Jane Andrews, Principal’s PA on 01992 785818 or email j.andrews@goffschurchgate.herts.sch.uk
