Secondary Transfer 2025
National Allocation Day – 3rd March 2025
National Allocation Day 2025 was on Monday 3rd March when you will have been notified of the school place your child has been allocated for September 2025.
You will need to accept or decline your place as soon as possible or by 17th March at the latest via your local authority, do not accept/confirm your place with the school.
If you have not been successful in your application to this school and would like to know your position on the waiting list please email the school at admissions@croxleydanes.herts.sch.uk
First Round of Continuing Interest
Following National Allocation Day, all applicants who listed Croxley Danes School higher than the school they have been allocated will automatically be rolled onto the continuing interest list. Please inform the local authority if you do not wish to remain on the list.
You will not remain on this school's continuing interest list if you have been allocated a school you ranked higher than this school.
First continuing interest applicants allocated a different school at this time will be contacted by the local authority between 24th - 28th March.
Second (and final) Round of Continuing Interest
If you are allocated a different school you will be contacted by the Local Authority between 28th April - 2nd May 2025. If further vacancies occur they will be filled as they occur from the continuing interest list. The continuing interest list will continue until the end of December 2025 at which time if applicants wish to remain on the list they will need to complete an in-year application form which can be downloaded from the school website under Admissions / In Year Admissions.
It is worth noting that the school receives few withdrawals at this stage and it is therefore important that you make alternative arrangements for your child by accepting a place at another secondary school. There is no statistical analysis, from one year to the next, as to how many places will be accepted or declined by applicants.
Appeals
All applicants refused a place have a right of appeal to an independent appeal panel constituted and operated in accordance with the School Admission Appeals Code. Appellants should either:
i. Log into their online application at www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/schoolappeals and click on the link ‘register an appeal.’
ii. Contact the Customer Service Centre on 0300 123 4043 to request appeal information, if you did not apply through the Hertfordshire online application system.
