Appeals for admissions

It is recommended that you first contact the school and request that they reconsider your application should any vacancies become available. Thousands of learners have been accepted into more than one school – which means that spaces will become available in the coming weeks and months. In the meantime, you may also:

1. Write to the schools you have applied to and ask them to place your child onto their waiting list; 
2. You can also engage the School Governing Body to request that the school reconsider their decision;
3. Speak to your WCED district office about other placement options available to your child;

If you feel that the school made a mistake or acted unfairly in any way you may appeal to the Provincial Minister.
Send an email to edumin.edumin@westerncape.gov.za and explain why you think the school’s decision should be overturned.
Please attach the evidence or documents in support of your claim
