Admissions 2026/27 Consultation

Consultation period: 25 November 2024 to 6 January 2025

We are consulting on our admissions arrangements for 2026/27. We are proposing no changes to our current admissions arrangements, but have not consulted in the past seven years and are therefore required to consult on our admissions arrangements as per the School Admissions Code.

Full details of the consultation process, the proposed Admissions Policy and a link to the Birmingham Beheard website (where any comments can be made) are all below:

In-Year Admission Applications

An application can be made for a place for a child at any time outside the admission round and the child will be admitted where there are available places. An application should be made to the school by completing the In-Year Applications Form

Completed application forms must be returned to the school office.

Where there are places available but more applications than places, the published over-subscription criteria, as set out in the admission arrangements will be applied. The full admission arrangements can be read above by contacting the school office to request a hard copy. Parents are advised to read the admission arrangements carefully before making their application.

If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list and further information relating to this will be included in the letter sent from the school advising you of the outcome of your application. Please see the admission arrangements for more details.

You will be advised of the outcome of your application in writing as soon as possible. Applicants must be informed of the outcome of their application within 15 school days of its receipt, but the aim is to notify applicants of the outcome of their application within 10 school days of its receipt.

You have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel if your application is unsuccessful.

If you have any questions in relation to in-year admissions please contact the school office. You may also wish to discuss in-year applications with the local authority whose contact number is 0121 303 1888.
