Submit Your Application

Before you begin, have a look at our quick summary (PDF, 971 KB) of how we manage In-Year applications. And if you’d like guidance on choosing schools to include on your form, visit our deciding on a place to learn page.

To see the current Warwickshire school vacancies, please see the useful links section on the admissions homepage. Please note that whilst this list is updated regularly, it is subject to continual change and should be used only as a guide to available school places.

Please apply online using our parent portal. It is quick and easy to use and there are also instructions to guide you through the application. You will need to create an account if you don’t already have one, provide the details of your child and then select which school(s) you would like to apply for. You can apply for up to six schools at any time. 

Please note that you will need to submit proof of your child's address. If your child does not live at the address stated on the application, this is considered fraudulent or misleading and any school place offered will be withdrawn as a result. Information on the types of proof needed and general guidance on how to complete the form can be found on the parent portal page.

Please also note: You must only name a school once on your application

All schools are legally obliged to operate an equal preference system. This means that all the schools you have named on your application will be considered at the same time and we will offer your child a place at the school which is named highest on your application where possible.

You can change your school choices on your application via the parent portal, however, each time you will need to include the full list of schools again, even if you had applied for some of them before. Treat it as a brand-new application each time you make a change.

Summer Holiday Application Processing

If you want your child to move to a new school in September 2024, please note that the parent portal will be open for applications from 25 June. At this time, school place offers will be made weekly and shared with families as soon as they are available.

Once schools are closed for the summer (from 19 July), we cannot make any new offers until the Autumn term starts (from 2 September). Therefore any remaining school place offers will be shared with families on a weekly basis from 13 September.
