Apply to be a volunteer

As a volunteer, you’ll play a crucial role in the appeals process for Lincolnshire schools. Here’s what you can expect:

• when an application to a Lincolnshire school is made and refused, there is an opportunity to appeal the refusal
• three independent panel members come together with the parent or guardian along with the school representative, they discuss each side's case, why the child wishes to attend the school and why the school are unable to accept the application
• once the panel have heard both sides, they are left to deliberate whether they think the decision to refuse should be overturned or not
• we hear appeals via Microsoft Teams throughout the year except in school holidays
• the appeals run county wide so if you have a particular area that you would prefer not to work for then we are able to accommodate that
• appeals usually begin at 09.30am or 10am and each appeal can take anywhere from 45-90 minutes

It is also a great opportunity to work with a group like minded individuals who share your passion for education.
