How each step works, and the national rules: After offer day.

What happened at each school last year

The published figures from last year's offers. They describe what happened then, school by school. They are not a forecast, and they say nothing about any one family's case. Waiting lists are kept in the order of each school's admission criteria (School Admissions Code 2021, 2.15).

Places offered and first preferences: DfE, Primary and secondary school applications and offers (school level, Open Government Licence). "Put it first, not offered it" is DfE's number of first preferences less its number of first-preference offers. Applicants refused: Leeds's own offer-day tables, where we hold them; "not held" means we do not have the figure, not that it was nought.

Moving to Leeds mid-year

Apply to the council, for any school. Apply online to the council (up to 5 preferences). For most schools the council coordinates and sends a single decision; schools that opt out of the coordination scheme still receive the application through the council portal and reply themselves. Only UTC Leeds needs a separate direct application.

  • Decision: "School place offers are allocated once a week in term time." Schools must contact you within 15 school days.
  • Proof of address: If you have moved, send proof of address evidence at the same time as you apply; the council checks and withdraws offers obtained by false addresses.

From Leeds's own in-year admissions page (Not stated on the page.): read it there before you apply, as arrangements change each year.

How in-year applications work everywhere: Moving mid-year.
