Hi Everyone,

I am new into this system and while reading forums , I am unable to understand few terms

1) what is ranking means

i.e 1st in 92th rank
2nd is 42nd rank ,
347th rank and so on

2) what is reallocation means and when/ how parents fill the forms?

3) what is cut off means


thanks

Some schools give rankings which is a list in order of merit, based on the oversubscription criteria. If you are ranked no. 1 then you are first in the list.


This is a process that runs after allocation day in March. People can go on the waiting list or make a new application for a school. The LA will have a policy for reallocation. Calderdale's policy for reallocation. https://calderdale.gov.uk/v2/residents/ ... llocations


This relates to a separation point between two states. For instance – qualified/not qualified or admitted/not admitted.

thank you so much
