School offers
If you complete an on-time application online, you will be emailed your offer on national offer day.
If you complete your application over the phone or via a paper form, we will post your offer on national offer day, which means you will receive your offer a few days later. We are unable to give offer details over the phone.
If we receive your application during the initial admission opening dates, we will release offers on the following dates:
- primary schools: 16 April 2024
- secondary schools: 1 March 2024
If we receive your application during the admission reopening dates, we will process it after the following dates:
- primary schools: 28 May 2024
- secondary schools: 2 April 2024
You will then receive your offer in the post. If you apply after these dates, offers will be sent out weekly.
Next steps
We automatically assume that you will accept your offer. You do not need to contact us to confirm this.
If you are unhappy with your offer, you can either:
- make a revised application - this form will be active from 1 March 2024
- appeal a school place
We will not remove your offer until another school place is confirmed. Not having an offer or having an offer does not impact the chances of getting a place at an appeal.
