Children are added to the school admissions waiting list according to published admission arrangements. If they are added to the waiting list, their position will not be static, which means they can be moved up or down the list.
Schools that maintain their own waiting list
Some schools maintain their own waiting list and are therefore not included in our online waiting list service. You will need to contact the school to find out the waiting list position for your child.

How the waiting list is managed
The school waiting list is managed as follows, the list for:
- in-year school places is available 10 days after you submit your application. If you applied for a school place for a future date, then the waiting list position will be available two days prior to that date.
- reception class starting in September 2023 is available from 20 April
- secondary transfer starting in September 2023 is available from 3 March
We will contact you to let you know when we are able to offer your child a school place.
In-year school places
To add you child to the in-year admissions waiting list you will need to complete the in-year admissions application form.
When you have submitted your application you can then request for your application to be added to the list.
