Walsall Council has issued a reminder that applications to apply for secondary school for September 2023 are due to end on 31 October 2022.
Only 70% of expected applications have currently been received with parents being reminded that filling in the application will improve their chances of their child getting a place at their preferred school.
Applications can be made online.
Councillor Mark Statham, Cabinet Member for Education and Skills said,
“I strongly urge parents and carers to make sure that you maximise your chances of obtaining a year 7 place at one of your preferred schools by submitting your application prior to the national application deadline of 31 October 2022.”
“Make sure you utilise all five of the preferences to ensure that your child is allocated a school that you would be happy for them to attend.”
