Admissions appeals for the 2026 school year are still yet open, as the provincial education department is currently in the initial stages of placement and more offers will be made in the coming weeks as parents with multiple offers confirm their choices.
The department encourages parents to contact the schools where they were not successful and ask that their child be placed on the waiting list.
“If a parent is unable to find any place by the time final offers are made later this year, the department will assist them in finding a suitable place,” a statement from the department read.
Admission appeals for on-time applications for Grades R, 1, and 8 in 2026 will open on Friday 1 August and close on Sunday 31 August.
Admission appeals for late applications for the same grades will be open for 30 calendar days from 1 August or the date of the outcome of the application, whichever is later.
