National Primary Offer Day – 16th April
Parents/carers who applied online for a Reception place at any school will receive an email with their offer from 8am onwards. Applications on paper or email will result in an offer letter being posted out today – Leeds City Council ask parents/carers to please allow seven days for this to arrive.
To accept the offer of a place for your child, please follow the instructions above.
Refusing the offer
Leeds City Council asks that we make families aware that if they turn down a place, it will be allocated to another child and they cannot guarantee a place will become available at a closer school to home – they could be left without a Reception place in September.
Accepting an offer doesn’t impact the chances of being offered a place from the waiting list or increase the chances of success at an appeal hearing.
That any family who refuses an offer must confirm this in writing to startingprimary@leeds.gov.uk and will be asked to confirm where they will be educating their child in September.
Wanting to be added to a waiting list for a school
If families are not happy with the school they have been offered they can ask to be added to the waiting list for any Leeds school (including schools they haven’t previously asked for) and can appeal against the refusal of a place at a preferred school. Waiting list forms and appeal forms are available at:
Please see key information from Leeds City Council below:
Families do not need to take any action on offer day, as they have until 30 April to submit waiting list requests and 15 May to submit appeal requests. Due to coronavirus (COVID-19), appeal hearings are on hold until we receive further guidance from the Department for Education.

Applying for a Secondary School Place
When your child starts Year 6 you will receive a letter from Leeds City Council asking you to apply for a Year 7 place.
If you live in Leeds you should submit your application to Leeds City Council even if you want to apply for a school outside of Leeds. If you live outside Leeds and want to apply for a Leeds school, you should submit your application to your council.
We recommend choosing five schools to give your child the best chance of getting a place at a school you prefer. Please use the following link to apply.
