The Western Cape Education Department said parents and caregivers who have applied for a place in Grade 1 or 8 for their child for the 2025 school year during the on-time admissions window will start receiving feedback from 30 May 2024.
Parents have been advised to check that they have their passwords to the WCED’s online admissions system handy in advance of the offers being made, and that their contact details for their applicatioins are correct. They can access the system here:

Parents who receive successful offers must then accept or decline these offers before 14 June 2024, and the department calls on them to do so as speedily.

If a parent has not confirmed their choice by 14 June 2024, the system will automatically confirm their top-ranked choice of school that has made an offer. All other offers will then be removed, so that those places can be offered to other learners.
Furthermore, the WCED adds that parents who do not receive an offer on 30 May 2024 should not be disheartened: thousands of additional offers can be made to parents who were not successful initially, as other parents confirm their choices and free up spaces.
