All admissions to schools in England are co-ordinated by Local Authorities. Parents complete just one common application for their home Local Authority, (i.e. the authority where you live). This means that if you live in Shropshire Council's administrative area, you must apply to this council regardless of the location of the schools to which they want to apply. For further information please follow the Who to apply to for a school place link on this page.

Parents have a legal right to express a preference for which school they want their child to attend. This is not the same as being able to choose, but means that if a parent expresses a preference for a particular school and there are places available at the school then a place should be offered at that school.
