In Year Waiting Lists
Parents will be notified within 15 school days of the outcome of their application. Where an application is refused, the school will set out the reason for refusal. Applicants who are unsuccessful will be added to a waiting list and parents are advised to complete an annual up to date application form in September, confirming their wish to remain on the waiting list.
This waiting list will be maintained in the order of the published oversubscription criteria and each added child will require the list to be ranked again in line with the above. If a place becomes available it will be offered to the next child at the top of the waiting list.
As a result, The Blue School, whose admissions arrangements prioritise applicants based on membership or practice of the faith, evidenced through regular attendance at a place of worship, have sought a variation to their admissions arrangements for 2024/25, to ensure that parents are clear on what they need to do in order to meet the relevant criteria.
