Important guidance on making your application
Allocation and continuing interest information

School allocations have now been released. Please use the 'View my allocation' button below to access your child's allocation summary.

On the allocation summary page you will have the following options:

Respond and Opt Out

You can use the online system to respond to your school allocation and opt out of any unmet higher preferences for continuing interest.

First Page: Accept or reject your allocation.

Second Page: If you reject the offer, you can provide a reason and also opt out of any unmet higher preferences for the first round of continuing interest.

Important: Ensure you click 'Submit Offer Response' to process your response.

Make a continuing interest application

You should only make a continuing interest application if you wish to change the order of your existing preferences or add a new school to your preferences. All unmet higher preferences (those still showing as 'Place Requested') will automatically be included in the continuing interest process.

If you are happy with your allocated school and you no longer want to be considered for any unmet higher preference school, please use the ‘Opt Out’ option instead.

You cannot reapply for any schools you ranked lower than the school allocated, unless the school accepts new applications for the 1st round of continuing interest. Very few schools accept for the 1st round. All schools will accept new applications for the 2nd round of continuing interest.

If you rank any school lower than the school allocated this preference will not be processed.

For more information about responding, opting out and making a continuing interest application please visit www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/primaryoptions
