[email protected] Information for Parents Secondary Admissions 2017 | 1 Dear Parent/Carer Transfers to Secondary schools in September 2017 I am pleased to endorse Walsall’s Information for parents about Admission to Secondary Schools for September 2017. This provides advice and guidance on the process for applying for a secondary school place for September 2017, much of which is governed by statutory legislation. As your child was born between 1 September 2005 and 31 August 2006 they are due to transfer to a secondary school in September 2017. This year, Walsall Council will again take part in an Inter Authority Co-ordinated Admissions Scheme with a number of Local Authorities in the Midlands, including Birmingham, Dudley, Sandwell, Staffordshire and Wolverhampton. An explanation of how the inter-LA scheme works is given on page 46. Please do contact and visit the schools you are interested in, look round and ask questions so you can feel positive and confident about making the right decision for your child. Walsall schools welcome visits; please find a list of Open Morning and Evening events on pages 14-15 of this booklet.
