How long does it take?
We aim to process all applications within 10 school days, although this can take longer if any of your school choices do not have space in the required year group. You will be notified if this is the case as soon as possible and issued with an official refusal letter. This will then entitle you to lodge a formal appeal for a place at your preferred school(s).
Applications may also take longer than 10 school days for:
- Children with an Education, Health and Care plan
- Grammar school places
- Children who fall under the Fair Access Protocol for mainstream primary and secondary schools
