Parents or guardians of pupils who are currently in Year 6 and are due to start at secondary school next year have until 31 October 2019 to apply for a place at their preferred schools.
To apply, please log on to School admissions and complete the short application process as soon as possible.
To help parents and pupils make their decision, all secondary schools in Wolverhampton will be holding open days and evenings to give them the opportunity to see what’s on offer. Further details are available at School admissions or by contacting individual secondary schools directly.
Councillor Dr Michael Hardacre, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Education and Skills, said: “If your child has just started their final year at primary or junior school, now is the time to start thinking about their secondary school place for next year.
“That may seem a long way off, but the closing date for applications for secondary school places is 31 October 2019.
“This is one of the most important decisions you can make for your child, so please don't miss the deadline. Ensuring applications are made by the end of October will increase the chances of securing a place at a preferred school.”
He added: “All Wolverhampton’s secondary schools will be holding open days and open evenings over the coming weeks, and I’d urge parents to see for themselves the facilities on offer and select their preferred schools before the application deadline.”
