Applying for school places at the normal point of entry
Staffordshire County Council’s School Admissions and Transport Service will provide a common application form to enable parents to apply for any school within the County or in another local authority. Parents will also be able to apply online.
Staffordshire parents will be able to name up to three school preferences, rank them in order of preference and have the opportunity to give reasons for their preferences. Parents must name all schools at which they wish to be considered for a place in order of preference, including any maintained foundation, trust, voluntary aided or any schools outside of Staffordshire including academies.
Any Staffordshire school that receives an application directly must ensure that it is forwarded to the School Admissions and Transport Service.
