Why was I offered this school?
This year 98% of Haringey children were offered a place at one of their preferred schools, and 88% were offered their most preferred school. Your offer email explains how your child was offered their school place.

Waiting lists
Waiting lists will be unavailable from 23 - 27 May due to planned maintenance work.
You can check your child's waiting list position online. Your child will automatically be placed on the waiting list for any Haringey schools listed higher on your application. Applications for any school listed lower on your application have been automatically withdrawn.
Being on a waiting list does not guarantee your child a place at the school, and their position on the list could go down as well as up. Find more information on our waiting lists page.
To add your child to any waiting lists - or to remove them - contact Haringey School Admissions at the email address below.
Which schools still have spaces?
Many Haringey primary and infant schools have spaces available, and we are still offering school places for children to start reception in September 2022.
- Measure your distance to Haringey schools using Haringey's Distance Calculator

If you are considering delaying your child's admission to school, you must first apply for a school place in their correct chronological year group.
