Step 3
Parents of successful applicants must confirm their acceptance on the WCED online portal, by 19 June. Places not confirmed by parents on the above date will be offered to other learners.

- WBJS and its Governing Body have the right to reject applications if parents submit false/untrue information or fraudulent documents.
- WBJS strongly advises parents to apply to more than one school, so they have another possible option if the school of their choice does not have a place.
- Applications will not roll over at the end of the year.
- WBJS encourages parents to register at the WCED online portal as early as possible.
