Brenda Wile, the City of Wolverhampton Council’s Deputy Director of Education, said: “If your child is in their final year at primary or junior school, you should now be making your application for a secondary school place for them.
“While making the transfer to secondary school may seem a long way off, the closing date for applications is 31 October, 2024 so time really is of the essence.
“Nearly half of parents have already completed their applications, but many have not yet started. In addition, a further 350 have begun their applications but have not yet submitted them.
“The process is quick and easy, and ensuring applications are made before the deadline will increase the chances of securing a place at a preferred school.”
To apply for a school place, parents should log on to School admissions and complete the short application process. Parents and guardians will be notified of their child’s allocated school place on 3 March, 2025.
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 31 October, 2024. Applicants will also be able to access their child's school allocation online on 3 March 2025, rather than having to wait for the post.
