• If your child has been allocated a place at a school you have not applied for this is because the Local Authority have to offer you a school, and the place allocated is the nearest school to where you live with a place available. If you don’t want to accept this place and want to be considered for another school, you must complete an application form to be considered after the 2nd May 2025. Application forms are available on the Council’s website. You cannot apply online as the system is closed.
• If the school you have been refused is not in North Tyneside we cannot advise on the appeal process, you will need to contact the Local Authority the school is in.
• If you want to accept the place you child has been offered, you can do this by accepting on the Portal if offered online.  Or you can email us if you are unable to do this or you have received an acceptance slip with a letter.  We can accept the place on your behalf.  If you want to go on the waiting list for a school you applied for but were not offered, please email us and we can add you to the waiting list.
• If you do not want to accept this place and would like to apply for another school, please fill in a paper Common Application form.  These are available to print out on the North Tyneside Council website at my.northtyneside.gov.uk/category/381/paper-application-forms
