Children who are in Year 6 at a primary or junior school from September 2025 will transfer to secondary school in September 2026.

Shropshire residents should make their applications for English state schools using the Shropshire online portal. Local authorities co-ordinate applications. Use our guidance notes to help you make your application. If you have any queries or encounter any difficulties completing your application, please contact the School Admissions Team by email: school-admissions@shropshire.gov.uk

Please note that the online facility is open from 1 September 2025. You must apply by 31 October 2025. If there’s a reason why your application is late, eg due to a house move, please email school-admissions@shropshire.gov.uk to advise that there may be exceptional reasons to be considered.
