It’s been a while since I was going through this process, so apologies if the answer to my question is out there somewhere - I just can’t find it.

In Essex, if places are rejected between now and March 17th, do the council contact the person at the top of the waiting list and offer the place, or is nothing done until March 17th when the waiting lists are officially released?

Many thanks

As far as I am aware, they don't.

Thank you - I had a vague recollection from 10 or so years ago, that some offers were made between 1st March and waiting list release day, but I must have imagined it!
