Admissions
Applications to school
To apply for a school place, parents in England must apply to their home local authority (to whichever local authority they make council tax payments) even if they are applying for a school place in another part of England. The local authority (LA) processes the application and informs the applicant of the result.
Parents make one application, naming up to 3 schools of their preference. The application process is the same even if a school is its own admission authority (eg aided, foundation school, or an academy) and regardless of whether the application is for Reception, Junior, Secondary School. In-year application are generally handled by the school.
Parents of Reception children in Shropshire will be required, in the Autumn Term prior to the school year of admission, to complete an LA Application Form stating preferences for up to three schools. The School Admissions Team at the Local Authority determine how these places are allocated. Parents are notified of places towards the end of the Spring Term for Reception children. Specific dates and information is given in the LA Information Pack (contact details below).
For further information please speak to the School Administrator.
Mid-Term Transfers
We welcome prospective parents to visit our school. If your child currently attends another primary school and you are considering applying for a place at Beckbury School then please telephone the school administrator who will be able to arrange for you and your child to visit. Often children join our school mid-term due to a house move or a change in family circumstances, but we also know that on occasion, parents will consider school moves for other reasons. We can also offer taster days in advance of a place being accepted.
