I have been offered a school place, what do I do now? A. If you do not wish to accept this place, you need to let us know as soon as possible but definitely by 16 March 2020 so that we can give the place to someone else. You must also reply by 16 March 2020 and let us know if you wish to accept. If you applied online please update your online application, if you received a letter please return the reply slip to the address stated. Failure to reply may result in your offer being withdrawn and the place being offered to another child. If you decline the offer of a school place it will become your responsibility to secure an alternative school. Unless you already have an offer at an alternative school, we advise you to accept the offer that you have received until you get one at a school you prefer. Accepting an offer for a school that you might not want does not prejudice your waiting list position or appeals for any higher preference school. Q. Why have I been offered a school that I did not apply for? A. We are required to offer schools that still have vacancies to children that were not eligible for any of the schools that they had applied for. If you have received an offer for a school that you did not apply for, your child’s name will automatically go on the waiting list for each school that you named as a preference that they are eligible for. You also have the right of appeal. We would advise you to accept our offer whilst you wait to see if you receive an offer at one of your preference schools from the waiting list. Q. Why have I been offered a school that is further away from the schools I applied for? A. Some children, who were not eligible for any of the preference schools that they named on their application, have been offered a place at another school that had vacancies remaining after the initial allocation of places. It is possible that the school is further away than the other schools that you applied for. It is not always possible to offer all children their closest school. It is advisable to accept this offer whilst remaining on the waiting lists of preferred schools. Accepting this offer does not affect your waiting list position or any appeal you may make. Q. How will I know where I am on the waiting lists? A. Waiting list positions for Sutton schools will not be available until acceptance/decline slips have been returned and processed by the Admissions Team. This process often frees up places that can subsequently be offered to other children. Sutton schools will be able to give waiting list positions from 17 March 2020. You may contact the school from this date to enquire but please do not contact them before. For schools outside the London Borough of Sutton, you should contact the local authority in which the school is situated from 17 March 2020, though they may refer you on to the school. 3.
