Waiting lists
Where there are more applicants than places available, the school will maintain a waiting list according to the oversubscription criteria detailed in the school’s admission arrangements without regard to the date the application was received or when a child’s name was added to the waiting list.
Positions on the waiting lists may go down as well as up. This is because other children might be added to the waiting list who have a greater priority for a place against the school’s admission criteria; for example, when new families move into the area or when other families who had not previously named Park Hill Junior School as a preference, ask to go on the waiting list after the initial allocations date.
If you have applied for a place and were unsuccessful, please contact the school office to check your child’s position on the waiting list.
