Changing from one school to another

Applying for a school place if you: 

• move house within Telford & Wrekin and wish to change schools
• want to transfer between Telford & Wrekin schools
• are moving out of Telford & Wrekin and need a school in another area.

With effect from September 2010 Telford & Wrekin School Admissions Team have a duty to co-ordinate all admissions into maintained schools in the borough including voluntary aided, foundation, trust and academy schools.

This duty applies to applications for places at the normal points of entry (the start of the Reception year, Year 3 and Year 7) and also in respect of applications for places required at other times.

Parents of children living in Telford & Wrekin must complete an in-year application form to apply for either a school within Telford & Wrekin or a school in another Local Authority (LA).

A family living in another LA area but wishing to apply for a place at a Telford & Wrekin school must complete an application form from their ‘home’ LA, for example the LA that collects your council tax. View contact details for the Admissions Teams of neighbouring LAs.
