A map is available from the website showing the area from which places have been offered to students in previous years. An address within this area does not guarantee a place at the Collegiate.
Operation of Waiting List Riddlesdown operates a waiting list whenever there are more applicants than places. The list will operate from the day after offers are made. A student’s position on the waiting list will be determined solely in accordance with the admissions criteria. Where places become vacant they will be allocated to students on the waiting list in accordance with the criteria.
Appeals Arrangements Parents have the right of appeal to an Independent Appeal Panel if they are dissatisfied with a decision made by the Admission Authority. Appeals are conducted in accordance with the Code of Practice on School Admission Appeals published by the Department for Education as it applies to Trust schools. The determination of the appeal panel is binding on all parties. The Collegiate will provide guidance for parents about how the appeals process works. The contact for this is the Clerk to the Board of Governors at the Collegiate.
