Primary school appeals – starting at primary 2023

This appeals process is for people applying for their child to start primary school for the first time in September 2023.

You will need to create an account first. You will need:

  • your application reference number
  • child ID.

 

Hertfordshire residents – log into the admissions system to find your reference number and child ID. They are on the page where you can see your allocation.

Out of county residents – call 0300 123 4043 for your reference number and child ID (these will be sent via automated email).  

Hertfordshire residents who applied using a paper form should also call 0300 123 4043 for registration details.
