Waiting and reserve applicant lists
If your child did not receive a place at your first choice school, they will be placed on the waiting list, or reserve applicant list, for the schools ranked higher in your application. Unsuccessful late applications will also be placed on the waiting or reserve applicant list according to the priorities set in the the admissions policies.

Withdrawing from a waiting or reserve applicant list
As children are on waiting lists for higher preferences than the school they were offered, it is assumed that parents will want an offer of a place at a school they are on the waiting or reserve applicant list for.
If you are happy with the school place you have been offered, please let us know that you no longer want your child to be on the waiting or reserve applicant list. You can do this via our enquiry form.
