Admission to Primary School

Starting School

In Shropshire, all admissions for children starting school are made through, and handled by, the Local Authority. Every parent must make an application to ensure their child is considered for a school place in Reception. Children are not automatically offered a place.

Applications need to be made to Shropshire Council either on-line, using the web-link below, or by telephoning an Admissions Adviser on 0345 678 9008.

If your child's date of birth is between 1st September 2020 and 31st August 2021, you will need to make an application for them to start school in September 2025 by 15th January 2025.
