Dear Parents and Carers
The closing date for applications to transfer to secondary school is fast approaching on 31 October 2021.
The national closing date inconveniently falls at the end of the half-term holiday and on a Sunday. Obviously, the School Admissions Team will not be available to help after Friday 29 October and schools are unlikely to be available to offer assistance to parents in making their application during half-term week.
Parents would be well-advised not to leave making their application until the last minute.
Paper application forms are not available. Applications must be made online at www.shropshire.gov.uk/schooladmissions.
Applications received after the closing date, without exceptional reasons, are considered late and won’t be processed until all the applications received on time have been allocated. This may result in your child not being offered a school place at your preferred school. Please indicate if there’s a reason the application is being made after the closing date, eg a house move.
National Offer Day – 1 March 2022
The day the results of your application are released is a national day meaning that the results of all applications made in England are known on the same day.
On this day you’ll be able to log into your account to view the outcome of your application. You’ll also receive an email advising you of the school to which your child has been allocated.
