  • Secondary Information for Parents Booklet 2018/19
    Secondary Education First Admission to Year 7 Information for Parents 2020/21 Apply on line at: www.warrington.gov.uk/admissions Apply on line at: www.warrington.gov.uk/admissions INTRODUCTION Families and Wellbeing New Town House Buttermarket Street Warrington Cheshire WA1 2NH Dear Parents/Carers This booklet has been produced as a guide to all admissions to secondary schools in the Borough of Warrington. There are three types of secondary school admissions which are as follows: 1. Children transferring from Year 6 to Year 7 in September 2020 (referred to as normal rounds of admission); 2. In year admissions, which are all other admissions where children move from one school to another part way through a school year; and 3. Admissions to schools with an atypical age range, such as University Technical College. The booklet provides important information on the processes associated with admissions to schools and gives details of how places are allocated (normal rounds) which should help you make an informed decision about your preferences. Please take the time to read the booklet carefully before completing an application, even if you have already decided which schools you prefer. The law gives parents/carers the right to express a preference for which school you wish your child to attend. It is very important that you understand that this is not the same as being able to choose a school. Admission to your school of first preference depends on meeting the criteria that are explained in this booklet and availability of places at the school. The booklet tells you about the schools in Warrington, how to apply for a place and what to do if we cannot meet the preferences that you express.
