Applications are usually processed within ten school days of us receiving your complete application.
School days do not include weekends, public holidays or school holidays.
After you apply (in year transfers)
If you applied online or with a paper application, and you have included your email address, we will email you the outcome.
If you applied on a paper form and did not include your email address, we will send you the outcome in the 2nd class post.
Accepting your offer
If you are happy with your allocated school place, you will need to accept it and contact the offered school to arrange a start date.
Appeals and waiting lists
If you do not get the school place you want, you can ask to be put on a waiting list for your preferred school(s) and you can appeal if you wish. You can also make a new application for different schools.
Additional support
If you are having difficulty securing your child a school place using the in year application process, we advise you to contact the Admissions Team in the first instance.
While you are welcome to discuss your case with your local MP, please bear in mind that they are not able to award school places, and neither an MP nor the local authority can overrule the decision of the Admission Authority (the school).
