Guidance from Walsall Council: Oversubscription criteria for primary schools in Walsall.

If there are more applications than there are places available, places will be allocated using the Oversubscription Criteria from Walsall council.

The following is in order of priority:

• Children in Public Care (looked after children).
• Pupils who have a sibling already in attendance at the school, who will be still attending the school at the proposed admission date.
• Pupils for whom a place at the school is essential on medical or social grounds as supported in writing by a medical practitioner or a social worker. (Applications will be subject to verification by Walsall Children’s Services).
• Distance between the home address and the school as measured in a straight line with those living closer to the school receiving the higher priority.

If you require help completing your online application forms you can telephone Walsall’s Parent Support Advisor on 01922 652578 or Admissions and Pupil Place Planning Team on 01922 652585.
