Applying for school places for academic year 2022/2023
Getting to school
Another important thing that you should consider, before filling in your application form, is how your child will get to and from school. If you are applying for a faith school, the Local Authority no longer provides transport and you will have to make your own arrangements even if you have a child already attending that school. More information can be found by viewing the home to school transport policy for exact criteria for home to school transport eligibility.
We would advise you consider transport arrangement prior to making your school preferences. If you have any queries please contact the transport team before the closing date of the application process by emailing transport.contracts@telford.gov.uk.
Please note Ofsted have changed the way they inspect and report on schools, visit the GOV.UK website for information about the Education Inspection Framework.
