Accepting a Reception place
If you applied online, you will be sent an email with the outcome of your application during the
evening of 16 April 2025. You will also be able to log on to the eAdmissions website to view the outcome during the evening of 16 April 2025. If you applied on paper, you will be sent an email during the evening.
You must accept or decline your offer by Wednesday 30 April 2025, either through the
eAdmissions system if you applied online, or by completing the web form linked in your outcome
email if you applied via the Google form.
We advise you to accept the school place offered to ensure your child has a school place in
September, as you can always refuse this at a later date if you are offered a school you prefer.
This will not affect your child’s position on any waiting lists of your higher preference schools or
your right to appeal.
Please note that your child will not be given any additional priority on the waiting lists if they
remain unplaced when the academic year begins in September. You will continue to be responsible
for providing a suitable education for your child until a place is offered.
You should be aware that your child’s position on the waiting list is subject to change; the list must
be maintained in accordance with the school’s oversubscription criteria and re-ranked every time a
new application is added.
Late Applications
Applications received after the closing date will only be considered after all applications received by the closing date.
