In Year AdmissionsIf your child is of primary school age and you wish to apply for a place at St Philip's Catholic Primary School, please visit the Leeds City Council Admissions site School admissions (leeds.gov.uk) and complete the In Year Common Preference Form and return it to the school office. The school will hold the details on file and when a place becomes available at the school it will be allocated in line with the school admissions policies.
Appeals You have the right to appeal to an Independent Appeal Panel for any school place you have been offered. If you would like to appeal for a place at our school you must complete the appropriate Leeds City Council appeal form. The forms can be found on Leeds City Council’s appeals webpage: www.leeds.gov.uk/schoolappeals. Completed appeal forms can either be e-mailed to education.appeals@leeds.gov.uk or posted to Leeds City Council, PO Box 837, Admissions, Leeds, LS1 9PZ.

In Year Appeals
The deadline for lodging an appeal against a decision for any other year group is 20 school days from the date of notification that the application for a school place was unsuccessful. Appeals will be heard within 30 school days of the appeal being received by the Clerk. Following the hearing, decision letters will be sent within five school days of the hearing. School days are term time only and do not include school holidays. If an appeal is submitted in the holidays the school days deadline will not start until the beginning of the next term e.g. an appeal received in July after schools have closed will not be heard until the new academic term, ‘school days’ will start from the beginning of September when the term starts. Please see appeal timetable for further information.
