Accept a school place we have offered you

If you have applied for a school place you will be offered a place on offer day. The date of offer day is different depending on:

• the type of school
• If the application was submitted on time

You must accept or reject the offer within one week of receiving it.

Your child will be placed on a waiting list for any higher ranked schools that you did not get an offer for.  

For example, if you are offered a place for your second preferred school, you will be added to the waiting list for the first preferred school. If you do not wish to remain on a waiting list you must inform the School Admissions team by email: school.admissions@plymouth.gov.uk.
