When will I receive the outcome of my application?
Applications are processed as quickly as possible, usually within 15 school days of receiving your fully completed application form.
Applications received towards the end of the summer term or during the summer holidays may not receive an outcome until the start of the autumn term, due to the unavailability of schools during the summer break and the reforming of waiting lists.
If you receive more than one offer of a place
If you have applied to more than one school, your child may receive more than one offer of a place.
We monitor multiple offers to ensure that no parent holds on to more than one school place for any longer than it reasonably takes to make a decision.
If you are not offered a place at your preferred school
We have a duty to ensure that there is a school place available for every child in Surrey who wants one. As such, if your child lives in Surrey and is not already in school and if it is not possible to offer you a place at any of the schools that you have applied for, we will identify an alternative school place for your child which will normally be the nearest suitable available school with a vacancy.
