Secondary School Admissions:

Applications need to be made online at www.walsall.gov.uk/education.  You may need to complete an additional application form for certain secondary schools (listed on the front of the parents' information leaflet and available to download from the school admissions pages of the Walsall Council website or the website of the appropriate secondary school). 

As your child was born between 1 September 2012 and 31 August 2013, he or she is due to transfer to a secondary school in September 2024.

It is vitally important that all applications are made on time, as late applicants may not receive a place at their chosen school (Walsall Council Secondary admissions website). 

If you are contacting us by email, please ensure that you include your name and contact details and your child’s name and date of birth.
