The Clerk to the Panel will write to you to let you know they have received your appeal. They will then send you another letter, giving you at least 14 days notice of the date, time and place of the appeal hearing.

7 days before the appeal, you will receive your papers for the hearing. You should bring these with you if you decide to come to the hearing. The papers will include a copy of your appeal form and a statement from the local authority explaining why they cannot offer your child a place at your preferred school.
