How could we apply schools after GCSE results?

If you have received an offer from your current school but want to go to another school while also not wanting to lose your existing offer, what should you do? Since acceptance into the desired school is not guaranteed, what strategy should I follow?

You can contact the other school when you get your results. If they offer you a place you can choose to accept it and then inform your current school that you won't be joining them. You don't have to reject your current school to be able to talk to others.

Thank you for your reply. So do I have to be there to accept it or on the phone?

You need to ask the school about their enrollment process. If you have not previously applied there it is quite possible you will need to visit in person with your results.
