Dear Parent

 Your child is due to transfer to secondary school in September 2026.  The online application process opens on the 1 September 2025 and closes on 31 October 2025.  A letter will be sent home with your child, outlining the process.  Alternatively, please follow this link – Apply to start or transfer school | Shropshire Council  which takes you to the Shropshire Council Admissions website.  Details about secondary school open evenings can be found in the Parents’ Guide to Education in Shropshire booklet, on the same website

 Applications received by Shropshire Council after the closing date will be classed as late, which may result in your child being disadvantaged, so please ensure you make your application on-time. Late applications will not be processed until all on-time applications have been offered.

 Please note your child’s cohort is larger than in previous years.  You can name up to four schools on your application – we encourage parents to make full use of these preferences.  If only one preference is named, and we cannot offer this, we will have no choice on National Offer Day but to offer a place at the next nearest school with a vacancy, which could be a considerable distance from your home address.

 Kind Regards

 The School Admissions Team

Year 6 pupils –  the deadline for applying for free school transport to your child’s allocated secondary school needs to be submitted by 31^st May 2025.  If the application is not submitted by this date, the Authority may be unable to provide transport provision from the beginning of the Autumn Term and parents/carers will need to make their own transport arrangements.

For insurance purposes, and to ensure accurate loadings on all our school contracted vehicles, access to school transport is not permitted until entitlement has been confirmed, and any application submitted after this date cannot be guaranteed that their application will be assessed in time.  Parents/carers can apply online at Secondary | Shropshire Council  Alternatively, applications can be submitted by telephoning our Customer Services Team on 0345 678 9008.

Your co-operation with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
