All preferences will be considered against the over-subscription criteria for the school. If there are more applications than there are places, the admission criteria will be applied to decide which pupils are eligible to be offered a place at each school. You will then be allocated a place at the school that can accept offer your child and that was the highest ranked in your list.

If you applied online, you will receive an email with the school offered during the evening of 1 March 2024. If you are offered your first preference school, your offer will be automatically accepted and you will not receive a separate letter. All other applicants will be sent a letter on 1 March 2024 and will have until 15 March 2024 to accept or decline their offer. If you choose to decline an offer, you must provide details of the school your child will be attending. An offer of a place may be withdrawn if you do not accept or decline by the date given to you. Information about offers will not be given over the telephone.

It may be that none of your preferred schools are able to offer your child a place.

You can also ask whether other schools still have vacancies. If you live outside Bexley, your home Local Authority is responsible for offering you a school place.
