Understanding waiting lists

Waiting lists are maintained until July 2025. After this time the waiting lists will close, and you will need to make a new application if you still wish for your child to transfer schools in a new academic year.

Please note that a child’s position on the waiting list can change as they are held in order of the admissions criteria. If a place becomes available, it will be offered to the first child on the waiting list.

The following schools maintain their own waiting lists and you will need to contact them directly for waiting list positions:

• Christ The King Catholic Primary School
• English Martyrs Catholic School
• Falcons Primary School
• Holy Cross Catholic Voluntary Academy
• Hope Hamilton C of E Primary School
• Krishna Avanti Primary School

You can ask for your child’s name to be removed from a school’s waiting list at any time.
