Applying for a School Place
Once you have narrowed down your list of preferred schools, it’s time to apply for a place.
If you do not have an application form, contact your Local Authority to request one. The Birmingham City Council admissions page is here.
Admissions criteria
Before submitting your application, it’s very important to read the school’s admission criteria; different schools have different criteria.
If the school you’re interested in is popular, the admissions criteria will give you a realistic idea of your child’s chances of getting a place there. (This criteria should be found in the school’s prospectus or by contacting the Local Authority).
