16 April 2024 is National Offer Day for Junior School, Year 3 Class Places in September 2024 

We will send you an email  (if you applied online) or post a letter to the address you have given us (if you have used a paper form). The email or letter will tell you where your child has been allocated a place. We will also explain what you must do next.

Applying for a school place online closed on 15 January 2024.

If we receive your application after 15 January 2024 it will be treated as a late application. This means it won't be considered until we have dealt with all applications that were on time and allocated places to these applicants. 

If you send a late application after 15 January 2024 but before 9 February 2024 and you feel that there are exceptional circumstances that prevented you from sending your application on time, please include the reasons and provide all supporting evidence with your application. Your request will be considered and, if accepted, your application will be considered along with the 'on time' applications. If your request isn't accepted, or if you don't provide the information needed to confirm your exceptional circumstances until after 9 February 2024, your application will continue to be considered as late.
