Thank you ToadMum. So if a child didn't get their first choice or second etc on national allocation day they can ring the borough to see where they are in respect to waiting lists?
Yes - the Admissions details should tell you who actually holds the waiting list (in Southend, all the waiting lists are held by the LA until the end of the summer holidays - and beyond, for some schools - but in some areas I think the waiting lists are handed to own admission authority schools earlier than that). There may be a delay on when waiting list details are made available, as responses are processed, late applicants ranked, etc.
