Applications are now open for school places in Worcestershire for September 2027.
Parents and carers should apply if their child is due to start school for the first time, or is transferring to a middle or high school.
The deadline for high school applications is October 31, 2026, while the deadline for primary, first, infant, junior, and middle school applications is January 15, 2027.
The county council strongly encourages parents to include their catchment school as one of their three choices.
This will increase the likelihood of securing a place at a local school if one of the other preferences is not available.
More information on starting school and moving to the next stage of education is available on the county council’s website.
