After your child is offered a secondary school place
If you have applied online, you will get the results of your application on 1 March 2027. If you have applied on a paper form, your result will be posted to you, 1st class, on 1 March 2027.
If you applied online, you’ll hear by email after 5pm on 2 March 2026, or, if you’ve used it, on the ParentComm app. If you applied using a paper form, we will post you a letter, 1st class, on 1 March 2027
What to do when you get your offer
If you got your first preference school, you don’t have to do anything. We’ll assume you’re accepting it unless you tell us otherwise.
If you got an offer for any other school, let us know right away whether you’re accepting it. You can do it online if you applied that way, or using the form in your letter. If we don’t hear by 17 March 2027, we can withdraw the offer.
What to do if you didn’t get your first choice
We strongly recommend accepting the place, even if you’re making an appeal or your child is on a waiting list. It doesn’t affect your appeal or list position, and you won’t risk your child missing out on a place altogether.
If you got an offer for a school on your list, but not your first preference, you will be automatically added to the waiting lists of all schools listed higher on your application form than what was offered.
If you choose to reject a place, you must tell us where your child will be going to school from September 2027 by emailing schooladmissions@bexley.gov.uk
