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 find a link to the following options:

Respond and Opt Out

On the first page, you will need to accept or reject your allocation.

On the second page, you will have the option to opt out of preferences and provide a reason if you have rejected your offer.

Please 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.

Important information: If you do not opt out of any higher preference schools and you are allocated one during the continuing interest process, the school place you have been allocated today will automatically be withdrawn - even if you accept this place. If you are happy with the school place and you do not want to be considered for any higher preference schools, you must opt out of the continuing interest process.

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, but all schools will accept new applications for the 2nd round.

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
