| School Choice: Your Rights | 
• Your child has the right to a place in school while they are between the ages of 5 to 16 years old.
• You have the right to say which school you would prefer your child to attend, regardless of the school's location. Your right to demonstrate a preference does not guarantee you a place at the school if it is oversubscribed.
• By law, your local authority (LA) must propose your child a school place.
• You have the right to appeal to an independent panel, if your child is not proposed a place at your preferred school.
You must complete an application form when applying for a school place for your child at every of the transition stages in your child's school life, for instance between nursery and infant/primary school and between primary and secondary school. It is essential to carefully check what the arrangements are for the schools in your area.
