Applying for school places in-year
An application form can be obtained from any of the following sources;
- From Staffordshire County Council’s website
- Customer Services (0300 111 8007)
- Child’s current school or preferred school (if in Staffordshire)
The application form will enable parents to apply for a school of their preference, and to provide their name and address and the name, address and date of birth of the child and also to include any documentary evidence in support of the application. The application form will also allow the parents to give reasons for the preference. Parents must apply directly to all schools for which they wish to be considered for a place, including any maintained foundation, voluntary aided, academy or any schools outside the county of Staffordshire.
Any Staffordshire school that receives an application directly must ensure that the local authority is notified of the application and subsequent outcome.
