DD passed (I/c) and was allocated Shsg which was our first choice. With my older children, we definitely had to accept the offered place, but the email I’ve had seems to suggest that if you’re been allocated a school, you have automatically accepted the place.
Please can someone confirm for me that is correct? Do I not need to do anything?
Are you a Southend or ECC resident? The Southend booklet says:
Accepting the offer of a school
place
Offers are automatically recorded as ‘accepted’
and parents will be given 10 school days to notify
the LA if they wish to reject an offer of a school
place. Parents who applied online will be able to
do this by using the online facility. https://www.southend.gov.uk/downloads/file/5605/secondary_admissions_booklet_201920If Essex, what does it say when you log in to view your offer? I'm fairly certain it has been assumed acceptance in recent years.
