School waiting lists
If we’re unable to offer you a place at one of your preferred schools, your child's name will be added to the waiting list for any school that is a higher preference than the school you have been offered.
How the waiting list works
- the waiting list will include children new to the area who weren’t able to make an application on time.
- the waiting list is held in accordance with the admission criteria of the school, not in order of applications received. See: School admission arrangements
This means that your child’s position can move down as well as up following the addition of any applications that may have a higher priority.
Waiting lists will be re-ranked each time a new application is received.
All waiting lists are cleared at the end of each academic year, and no names are carried forward into the next academic year.
