WHAT HAPPENS TO MY APPLICATION? Form is processed by School Admissions Team and data sent to schools. Different Local Authorities exchange information. Schools rank all applicants according to their policy. Admissions Team looks at offers and sends parents the highest one possible on 1 st March. If no preference can be offered the Local Authority must identify and offer the nearest available place.

EQUAL PREFERENCE Admissions Code prevents schools from taking account of parental preference ranking. Schools do not see where you put them on the list. However, where more than one offer is available the school ranked highest by parents is offered.

COMPLETING THE APPLICATION Put schools in your genuine order of preference Try to include a “safe” local choice You can get help from school or choice advisers Online and phone applications are easy

AFTER MARCH 1 You need to accept the offered school so that you have a school place You can appeal to an independent appeals panel for a place at any school you named on your list but did not get allocated You can make a new “revised” application You can get help with appeals from the Choice Advisers org.uk
