Go on a primary school waiting list

Get your child's name added to a waiting list and how long the waiting list is kept for

If you don’t get a place at your preferred school you can indicate  on the Parent Portal that you want your child to be added to the waiting list for that school.

If you want your child to be added to a waiting list you must:

• tick the box that says 'hold this place while I pursue waiting list and appeal options'
• tick the box to indicate the school you want your child to be on the waiting list for

If you ask to go on a waiting list for your preferred school your original place offer will be held for you until an offer can be made for a higher preference school.
