Apply for a school

Make a revised application

Making a revised application should only be done if:

  • you want to change your school preferences.
  • you have moved house.

We advise that you do not decline your school offer because you might not get a place at your revised choices.

You can only revise your application through this process after the national offer date. If you wish to change your application after the online system has closed but before the offer day, please email schooladmissions@lincolnshire.gov.uk.

The online form for making a revised application for starting primary or junior school, year 3 or year 7, closes 29 August 2025 and opens again 2 March 2026.
