Parents of Reception children in Shropshire will be required in the Autumn Term prior to the school year of admission to complete the online application at www.shropshire.gov.uk/schooladmissions If there are more applications for places than are available within the admission limit, then priority will be given based on:
Looked After and Post Looked After pupils, Residence in catchment area, Sibling connection, Proximity of home address to school, Medical circumstances or Education, Health and Care Plan. See our policies page for the up to date admissions policy.
Parents should be aware that attendance at a particular primary school does not in any way guarantee a place at a particular secondary school.
Mid-term Admissions
In year applications can be made directly to the school via the school office;
admin@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk
To change your child’s school to a Shropshire school you should complete the midterm/in year application form and send it to your preferred school.
There are guidance notes to help completing the form.
A detailed explanation of this is in the primary school section of the Parents’ Guide to Education in Shropshire.
