School waiting lists

How school waiting lists work

You will be added to school waiting lists if you:

don’t get a place at any of the schools you applied for
have been offered a place at a lower preference school listed on your application and still want a place at a higher preference school

You can ask to have your child’s name added to school waiting lists if you:

waiting list names will be held until the end of July - this does not apply to Queen Elizabeth's School Barnet's secondary transfer waiting list, which is only held for one term.
you will need to make an in-year admission application if you want your child to join the lists for the 2020/21 academic year,

Your child’s position on the list can go down as well as up, time spent on a waiting list isn’t taken into account.

in-year waiting list names are normally held until the end of July each year and you have to submit a new in-year application for the following year
this year, in response to COVID-19, we are not closing the in-year waiting lists and you will not need to reapply for the 2020/21 academic year

Your child’s position on the list can go down as well as up, time spent on a waiting list isn’t taken into account
