Waiting list

The waiting list will move up and down as offers are accepted or declined.

Please note we do not give out waiting list position information as it can change on a daily basis. The waiting list will be ranked only when a place becomes available using the over-subscription criteria. If you would like to join the waiting list please contact your local authority and complete a SIF form if applying for a faith place. The waiting list is held in accordance with the admission criteria of the school, not in order of applications received.
