In-year Applications

Solihull Council manages in-year admissions applications on behalf of the Trust.  An in-year admission is at any time other than the normal point of intake.

Parents will have the opportunity to express up to three preferences, rank them in order and give a reason for that preference.

An application form is available for parents and comprehensive information is published on the Council’s website.

Parents will receive an outcome to their application within 15 days of submitting a completed application. An application will be deemed complete when all sections are filled, and associated information is received. If a place can be offered the child is expected to start within 6 school weeks. If a place cannot be offered at a preferred school parents will be given a reason for refusal and offered the right of appeal.

If a place cannot be offered at a preferred school, applications will be prioritised on the waiting list using the over-subscription criteria for the normal intake to that school for the current year.
