Admission to School

What do I do if I wish my child to attend?

All children will begin school at the start of the autumn term in September. Admission forms are available from the school office from the September of the year before the child is due to start school. Parents can also apply to register their child for a place at school online at www.dudley.gov.uk/admissions. Parents will be notified by the school admissions service during April if a place has been allocated for their child to start school the following September. Preliminary visits in the form of 'Play Afternoons' for children and parental contact with their child's reception teacher are arranged in the term before the child officially starts school.

When children start school we ask all parents to complete a new pupil form.  On this form we ask for contacts and telephone numbers where we can contact you during the day in case of illness etc.  If you do not have a telephone we ask you to provide the number of a relative or friend we might contact in cases of emergency.  A list of school admission dates, term dates etc. is in the supplement to this booklet.

What if my child wants to move to Oldswinford mid year?

You should apply as soon as you can.  If there is space in your child’s year group, we will be able to give you an immediate answer.  If not, you will need to contact the School's Admission Service, Dudley LEA, Westox House, Dudley. Where possible it is preferred that, children begin school at the beginning of a Term or half Term for educational reasons, however we understand that this is not always possible.
