Before completing, please refer to the school generic defence statement and FAQ located on our website or in Section 2 of this form.
The Independent Appeals Panel intends that your appeal will be conducted under a virtual setting. If you can demonstrate an equality consideration that prevents you from accessing the hearing virtually, and you do not have reasonable support to do so, please email admissions@dstc.kent.sch.uk setting out your reasons. There would need to be clear grounds to identify an alternative format for the appeal to be heard. Examples of schoolwork your child may have undertaken will not be accepted as the Panel will not be able to make a proper judgement about its quality. The members would have nothing to measure it against and would not know the depth of the work submitted. Also, they would not know whether the work had been carried out unaided.
Thank you for your time and support.
