National Offer Day secondary

National Offer Day was on 1 March 2024. This is the date applicants who applied on time received the results of their application. Waltham Forest call agents cannot give you details of the placement offer. 

If you applied online before the closing date of 31 October 2023 you were sent an email during the evening of 1 March 2024 with the results of your application. 

If you made a paper application, your offer letter was posted on 1 March 2024 by first-class post.  Any applications made after the closing date will not be responded to until after 1 March 2024. 

If we were unable to offer any of your preferred schools, we allocated a place at the school nearest to your home which had an available place. If you wish to decline the alternative offer, please refer to the document below, which shows how school places were offered and those schools in Waltham Forest with available places on National Offer Day.  

If you decide another school that is showing available places would better meet your child’s needs, please email school admissions at admissions@walthamforest.gov.uk to request a change for your child’s alternative school offer. However, please note that we cannot guarantee a place at a particular school.

The following document shows How places were offered for secondary schools in 2024.

Your child’s name is automatically placed on the waiting list for any higher-ranked Waltham Forest schools that we are unable to offer.

If you are not happy with the school offer received and would like to appeal for a place at your preferred school, you can find information on how to appeal the decision by visiting the School admission appeals page on our website.
