The school your child has been allocated will be in contact with you in due course regarding admission arrangements.
If your child has been allocated a place at a school outside of Luton, you must notify the relevant council by email if you no longer require the place.
If your child has not been allocated a place at your preferred school(s), you must contact the relevant local authority’s Admissions Team for advice on the appeals and waiting list process.
School places are offered on the understanding that you will be responsible for any transport arrangements that may be necessary and that brothers and sisters do not gain automatic admission to the school in future years.

Late high school applications received after 30 April 2026 will be processed in due course and the Admissions team will aim to advise parents in writing of the outcome before September 2026.
How to appeal a school admission decision
In accordance with the School Standards and Framework Act (1998), you have the right of appeal against the decision not to offer your child a place at your preferred schools.
