This is whether we plan to make any changes or not. We are consulting across all schools in the Trust this year, however, in William Shrewsbury Primary School there are no plans to change the admission arrangements. However if you feel that you wish to comment on our current arrangements and the admission authority to take any suggestions into account, please contact us on office@williamshrewsbury.com.

The admission consultation will run from 29-11-2024 to 09-01-2025.

In-Year Admissions

Once it is completed, give it to your child’s current school to complete Section 4. Once that is completed, send the form to the school office for us to process. You will receive the outcome of your in-year application within 10 school days but at the very latest within 15 days.
