Parents or carers of pupils who are currently in Year 6 and will start secondary school next autumn have until Thursday 31 October, 2024, to apply for a place at their preferred schools.
To make an application, please log on to School admissions and complete the short application form.
To help parents, carers and pupils make their decision, all secondary schools in Wolverhampton will be holding open events over the coming weeks 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 or visiting their websites.
Councillor Jacqui Coogan, the City of Wolverhampton Council’s Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education, 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, 2024.
“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 can increase the chances of securing a place at a preferred school.”
She added: “All of Wolverhampton’s secondary schools will be holding open events 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.”
