The window for applications for reception class places at infant and primary schools in Wolverhampton is now open. The online application process is quick and easy, and families have until 15 January, 2025 to register their preferences.
To apply, please log on to School admissions and complete the short application process as soon as possible.
Councillor Jacqui Coogan, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education, said: “Parents or guardians of children who are due to start school next autumn should set aside time to think carefully about their school preferences.
“This is one of the most important decisions you will make for your child’s future. The application process is straightforward and should only take a few minutes to complete.
“It’s important to remember that, even if your child is already in nursery provision at primary or infant school, you will still need to apply for a reception class place for them, and please get your applications in by the deadline of 15 January, 2025, as applying after this time could have a detrimental effect on your chance of securing a place at one of your preferred schools.”
Applying online has a number of benefits. Applications are made through a secure website and can be viewed and edited online up to the closing date for applications of 15 January, 2025. Applicants can also find out about their child's school place allocation online when it is announced on 16 April, 2025, rather than having to wait for the post.
