After you apply

On national offer day

The national offer day for reception, infant to junior, and first to middle places is 16 April 2024.

The national offer day for secondary, middle to upper, and UTC school places is 1 March 2024.

If you have applied online, you will be able to view your allocated school place on the Citizens Portal on national offer day. We will also email you on the same day.

If you applied using the paper application form and did not opt for the email outcome, we will post you a letter on national offer day. This will be sent second class post so it may take a few days to arrive.

Please read the Statement of Options document before responding to your outcome. This sets out all your options and should answer most questions. 

You can respond to the offer by:

  • accepting or declining the place offered
  • ask to be put on a waiting list
  • request to appeal our decision
  • withdraw your application and make a new one with new school preferences.
