Primary school place offers
Finding out which school your child has been allocated
If you applied for your child's primary school place (or Year 3 place in a junior school) by the deadline of 15 January 2025, you will receive an offer of a school place for your child in one of two ways:
- online application - your child’s allocated school place will have been sent via email on 16 April 2025 to the email address used to apply
- paper application - your child's allocated school place will have been sent via a letter posted on 16 April 2025
Parents who applied online can also log onto the application portal to find out their child’s school allocation.
What happens next
If you are accepting the place offered and:
- the school is within West Northamptonshire - we will assume that the offer is being accepted unless you inform us that it is no longer required
- the school is situated outside of West Northamptonshire – you should contact the school directly to check whether they need to formally accept the place for your child
Parents who have made alternative arrangements for their child's schooling must let us know as soon as possible that the allocated place is no longer required by emailing [email protected]. They must let us know the name of the school that has offered a place.
If you are not happy with the school place offered
For a small number of families, we regret that it has not been possible to offer a school place at a preferred school.

There are three options available to parents:
Parents can add their child's name to the waiting list for any school at which they have been refused a place. The school must have been listed as a preference on their original application.
Parents can either:
- email [email protected]
- write to: School Admissions, West Northamptonshire Council, The Guildhall, St Giles Square, Northampton, NN1 1DE
Parents should not call us – they will be asked to put their request in writing.
The child's name and date of birth must be included on all correspondence. Failure to do so will cause a delay in the request being processed.
What happens if a place becomes available at my preferred school?
Any places that become available after National Offer Day (16 April 2025), or places still remaining on National Offer Day, will be reallocated within the additional rounds of reallocation taking place between May and July 2025.
Children will be considered for available places against the oversubscription criteria for the school if they:
- are on the waiting list
- have submitted late applications
- have submitted an appeal
Parents of children who are successful in gaining a place during these rounds of reallocation will be notified in writing at the end of each round. Parents do not need to contact us.
How long will my child's name stay on the waiting list?
Waiting lists will be held until 31 December 2025. If parents want their child to remain on a waiting list after this date, they will need to renew their interest termly (for example, by 31 December 2025 and 31 March 2025). For schools that manage their own in year applications, they will also manage their own in year waiting lists. Parents should check with the school directly for their waiting list policy.
To find out which schools have places available see Breakdown of School Places above.
How do I apply?
Parents of children who wish to be considered for a place at a school which still has places available, or be added to the waiting list for a school for which they have not yet applied, will need to make a new application.
Making changes to an application
Parents who have already received a school offer and choose to submit an additional application, will not be contacted before the application is processed. Any new school place will automatically be allocated and any original school place offer will be reallocated to another child.
Parents wishing to withdraw an unprocessed application prior to a reallocation round should email [email protected] to advise of this, providing their child's full name, date of birth and details of the application they wish to withdraw.
How will places be allocated?
Any available places will be reallocated within the additional rounds of reallocation taking place between May and July 2025.
Places are not allocated on a first come, first served basis.
If there are more applications than there are places available, places will be allocated using the school’s oversubscription admission criteria. There is no guarantee that a place will be allocated just because there were places available on National Offer Day (16 April).
Parents should not decline their existing offer of a place on the basis that they have submitted a new application.
When will I hear?
Each round of reallocation can take several weeks depending on how many applications are received.
Parents do not need to contact us after completing a new application. We will contact parents at the end of the reallocation round in which their application was considered.
Parents have the right to appeal against the decision not to offer their child a place at any of the schools where they have been refused a place. Parents choosing to appeal will need to complete an online appeal form or request a paper appeal form in writing from the Admission Authority of the relevant school (see below).
Appeals may be submitted for more than one school but parents must have applied for and been refused a place for their child at the school in the first instance.

I have submitted a late application - when will I find out which school my child has been allocated?
Late applications are applications received after 15 January 2025. They are dealt with in reallocation rounds.
The round your application is processed in will depend on when you submit your late application. Each round can take a number of weeks depending on how many applications are received.
Emails will be sent at the end of each round to all late applicants who apply online by the deadline for the round, letting them know which school has been allocated. Parents of children on a waiting list will only be informed if it has been possible to offer a place. Otherwise, your child's name will remain on the waiting list for the next round.
You do not need to contact us after completing a late application form, or on the allocation round’s processing start date. You will be contacted once the round of reallocations is complete.
| Allocation round | Applications received by | Process start date (please note, it can take up to 4 weeks to process and send offers to parents) |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | 9 May 2025 | 19 May 2025 |
| Round 2 | 13 June 2025 | 23 June 2025 |
| Round 3 | 4 July 2025 | 11 July 2025 |
Applications received after 4 July 2025 will be processed as and when received throughout July and August 2025.
From the end of August, applications will be processed according to our in-year co-ordination scheme.
