How get advice
If you're not happy with the school place your child has been offered, you can email schooladmissions@brighton-hove.gov.uk for advice and information about places available at other schools.
If the school you listed in the application form as your first preference is a community school or an academy, your child will be automatically added to that school's waiting list or reallocation pool.
Find out about waiting lists for primary schools and reallocation pools for secondary schools.
How to make an appeal
You can also make an appeal if your child wasn't offered a place at a school you listed as your first, second or third preference in the application form.
