Waiting List

Local Authorities wrote to parents with results of secondary school admissions on Tuesday 1st March 2011.

Wimbledon College has written to parents of boys who applied to Wimbledon College and either have been offered a place or have been placed on the waiting list. We have not written to parents of boys who were offered a place by a school they placed higher than Wimbledon College in their preferences.

At the bottom right-hand corner of these letters is your son's Admissions Number. You can use this to see his place on the waiting list as the list changes.

This list was most recently updated on 19th August 2011.

Please note that boys may be removed from the waiting list (if they accept an offer from another school and withdraw) or added to the waiting list (if a new application is received or an existing one is reassessed and meets the admissions criteria). As a result, boys already on the waiting list may find they move up or down each time the list is revised.

As soon as a place becomes available (through another boy withdrawing), parents are informed by their Local Authority. Wimbledon College will also confirm the offer by 'phone and letter.

Please contact the Registrar if you have any questions or need advice.
