Primary school places

In September 2007, there will be thousands of children starting primary school in the Shropshire County Council area.

If the number of places at each school in the Shropshire County Council area were unlimited, then every child would be able to attend their preferred primary school, but unfortunately this is not the case. The number of children each school can accept is limited, and the Council cannot guarantee that a place will be available at your preferred school.

The Government has introduced a class size initiative. No 5, 6 or 7 year old at Key Stage 1 should be in a class of over 30 pupils for a normal teaching session.

If you cannot be allocated a place at your preferred school, consideration will be given to your named alternative on the application form.
