Admissions Arrangements – What happens after National Offer Day
If you have recently received your child’s school allocation, we would like to guide you through the next steps.

If you have decided not to accept the place, please inform North Northamptonshire Council (NNC) as soon as possible so that the place can be offered to another child.
If your child was not allocated a place Corby Technical School but you would like them to attend, you can request to have their name added to our waiting list. This process is managed by North Northamptonshire Council. Waiting lists are ranked according to the school’s admissions criteria rather than the date of application.
