Primary and nursery school admissions
Admission of Children to Primary or Nursery Schools for September 2010
If your child was born between 1 September 2005 and 31 August 2006 (Reception) or 1 September 2002 and 31 August 2003 (Year 3), he or she is due to join a Reception class or a Year 3 class in September 2010.
Choosing a school for your child is an important decision for all parents and guardians. Please take the opportunity to find out as much as you can about the schools in which you are interested.
All primary schools in Walsall participate in a Co-ordinated Primary Admissions Scheme. Walsall Children’s Services – Serco administers the Scheme and offers places on behalf of all Walsall primary schools
The Scheme allows you to express preferences for up to three Walsall primary schools and rank them in order of preference. Your child will be offered a place at one Walsall primary school only. More detailed information explaining how the Scheme will work is given on page 7 of the attached booklet - please read this carefully.
You are able to make your application on-line, from the link below.
The information booklet provides details of schools and sets out:
- the important dates in the timetable for admission to primary schools
- the admission criteria which will be used if there are more preferences than places available at a school
- how to appeal if you cannot get a place at your preferred school
- what financial help is available to parents, including free school meals
- what help is given to children with special educational needs
