Admissions appeals for the 2026 school year are not yet open, as the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) 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 WCED encourages parents to contact the schools where they were not successful and ask to 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 WCED will assist them to find a suitable place.”
Admission appeals for on-time applications for Grades R, 1, and 8 open on Friday 1 August and close on Sunday 31 August.
Admission appeals for late applications for Grades R, 1 and 8 are open for 30 calendar days from Friday 1 August or the date of the outcome of the application, whichever is later.
