Appeals for Catholic schools appeal the decision of the school’s Governing Body. For most Catholic schools within the Archdiocese, the appeal hearings are arranged by the Education Department.

If you wish to appeal a decision regarding the offer of a school place please contact the Liverpool Archdiocese by completing this online form.
