Admissions to School in Reception
If your child turns four on or between 1st September 2023 and 31st August 2024, he or she can start primary school in September 2024.
From September 2023 you can apply online for a Reception Year place for September 2024. The closing date for applications is 15th January 2024.
Before you apply:
- Read the primary education booklet, which contains useful information about the application process, including: how places will be allocated, definition of home address and how late applications will be dealt with.
- Consider how your child will get to school and the potential transport costs.
- Clarify any issues you are not sure about with a member of the School Admissions team via email school-admissions@shropshire.gov.uk
