Offer day for new school places

If you applied online, you will be able to view your allocated school place on the Citizens Portal from midnight on the national offer day. We will also email you from 5am onwards on the same day.

If you emailed or posted an application form and included an email address, we will email you the outcome from 10am onwards on the national offer day.

If you emailed or posted an application form and did not put an email address, we will post you a letter on the national offer day. This will be sent second class so may take some time to get to you.

If you are happy with your allocated school place, you will need to accept it.

Accepting the offer will secure the school place. You can still be added to waiting list(s) and/or appeal for any school where you have been refused a place. 

Rejecting the offer will mean that a place will not be held for your child and may be offered to another applicant. If you reject a school place, we strongly encourage you to submit new preferences and/or go on to waiting lists.

We will not automatically offer an alternative school place unless a new application is received. By offering a school place, we have fulfilled our statutory duty, and it is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to ensure that their child is in receipt of education.

If your child did not qualify for a place at any of your preferred schools, we will usually offer a place at the closest school with an available place.

You can do one or more of the following:

• accept the place offered
• request that your child’s name is put on a waiting list for your preference school(s)
• appeal
• make a new application with new school preferences.

If you would like to be added to the waiting list you must contact us to let us know. You are not added automatically.

You can make new preferences by applying again using a paper application form.

If a place can be offered from the new application, any school place already offered or accepted will automatically be withdrawn.

You will be informed of the outcome of your new application during the next round of offers.

You will be informed of the outcome of your new application during the next round of allocations.

You may want to make new preference(s) and join the waiting list for your other original preference(s). 

Please be aware that you can only have up to three preferences. If you wish to do this, please make it clear on the new paper application form when you submit it.

There are some schools in North Somerset which may have places available. 

Please be aware that this information is a snapshot in time. It cannot be guaranteed that a place will be offered if you apply for it, as other families may be applying as well.

This information will be made available once the outcomes have been released.
