Secondary school offers for September 2023 are now available.
If you applied online, you will be able to see the offer in your admissions account online. We also sent you the offer by email on 1 March 2023.
If you completed a paper application form, we have sent your school offer by post. We sent offer letters by second-class post on 1 March 2023.
When you get your school offer
We will tell the headteacher of the school that your child has a place. The school will contact you with further information.
Some schools need you to complete an acceptance form. They will send you this form with their welcome pack.
The first day of autumn term 2023 is Wednesday 6 September 2023. Your child should go to school on that day unless the school tells you otherwise.
If you have not been offered a place at one of your preferred schools
If we were unable to offer your child a place at one of your preferred schools, we have offered a place at an alternative school. This will be at the nearest school to your home address with an available place.
Waiting lists
If we haven’t offered your child a place at one of your preferred schools, we will add their name to waiting list for that school in case a place becomes available. We will keep their name on the waiting list until 31 December 2023.
Appealing the decision
You have the right to appeal the decision if we have not offered your child a place at one of your preferred schools.
We will tell the transport team which school your child will be going to. The transport team will contact you if your child is entitled to home to school transport.
If your child is due to transfer to secondary school in September 2023 and you haven’t applied, you can make a late application by completing a paper application form.
