After you get your school offer
5. Request a change of allocated school for September 2024
If your preferred school(s) are full for entry in September 2024, we can look into changing your child’s allocated school, provided the alternative school did not turn down any on-time applications. It is not possible to express a new preference for a school not listed on your application until 1 September 2024.
We cannot guarantee all requests will be successful. It will depend on the number of requests we receive and availability at each school.
If your change of allocation can be met, your original allocation will be withdrawn.
The list of schools available for change of allocation requests and details of how to do this will appear here on national offer day. This is 1 March 2024 (secondary) and 16 April 2024 (primary).
Further schools may become available on 1 July, so please check back later if you are interested in other schools
Make a request
Please put your request in an email to allocationchange@eastsussex.gov.uk and include:
- your child’s name and date of birth
- the school you wish to be considered.
- the reasons you wish to change your child’s allocated school (ie sibling)
The decisions on these requests do not carry a right of appeal nor can you join a waiting list. This service is not available for In year applications
