Families with children due to start secondary school in September 2022 (i.e. those children born between 1 September 2010 and 31 August 2011) are now able to apply online for secondary school places.

The deadline for applications is 31 October 2021 and places will be offered on 1 March 2022. All the information families need to make their applications is on our website:

Before you apply: Researching schools | Apply for Secondary School (year 7) place | Birmingham City Council

It is particularly important that families carefully consider schools’ admission criteria and name at least one school on their application where their child would have been offered a place in previous years.  The council will also be sharing information about the application process on its social media channels throughout the application period: https://twitter.com/BhamCityCouncil/status/1440968174476877827

I would be grateful for the support of schools to ensure parents are aware of the deadline as parents who apply late are less likely to be offered one of their preferred schools.

Thank you

Regards
