Admissions Appeals

The Admissions Appeals process for all Equals Trust schools engages Nottinghamshire County Council’s Independent Appeals Panel.  None of the members who sit on the panels have any connection to Equals Trust schools.  Their decision is independent and final.

The cost of any Admissions Appeal is charged to the school and comes out of their allocated budget.

If you are considering Orston Primary School, we would love to give you a tour of the school. Please contact our Headteacher Ms Nikki Crosby on 01949 850618

If you are moving into the area and you are interested in your child attending Orston Primary School, your first step should be to ring and speak to Mrs Tracey Andrews, our office manager. She will have up to date information about places in each year group and will be able to arrange for you to have a visit to look around the school.
