Abolition of automatic appeals in the final year of primary school

02/09/2026
In brief

Trust in our teachers, at the heart of decisions. School juries and class councils retain full autonomy to assess pupils' progress and take the most appropriate educational decisions. A pupil may, if necessary, repeat a year to consolidate what they have learnt, notably through personalised support, before continuing their schooling. Automatic appeals are also being abolished.
