Attention - school admissions and school appeals
Due to the current COVID-19 situation we envisage a serious delay to any in-year applications for school places. The portal will re open for in year applications for the summer term only from 21 May 2020 to 1 June 2020.
The portal for in year applications for September 2020 will be open from 1 June 2020.
We recognise that our service is important to you and appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.
Applications for children starting primary school or moving to a secondary or junior school in September are currently unaffected.
If you are moving into the Borough and you fall into the category of vulnerable learner or key worker and may require assistance regarding a school place in terms of child care please email admissions@telford.gov.uk.
