Published on
The deadline for Walsall parents and carers to submit their child’s primary school application is next week, on Thursday 15 January 2026.
Applications should be made for children born between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022 who are due to start primary school from September 2026.
Applications can be submitted on the Walsall Council website: https://go.walsall.gov.uk/schools-and-learning/school-admissions/apply-primary-school-place#Apply
“ The next academic year will be here before we know it, and it’s important that parents and carers submit their primary school applications on time, and make use of all three preferences available on the application form.
The process of submitting an application is fully digital, but help is available from our admissions team should parents have any queries or need any support to submit on time. “
Primary school offers will be made on Thursday 16 April 2026.
The primary schools admissions process is online, and parents will be able to view their results by logging into Walsall Council’s School Admissions Portal on the school admissions pages of the council website in April.
Last year, over 95% of Walsall children were offered a school place at their top preference, and nearly 99% of children one of their top three preferences.
The council has a legal duty to offer children a school place and will always try to meet first preferences.
Further information and help with school admissions can be found on the council’s website: https://go.walsall.gov.uk/schools-and-learning/school-admissions/apply-primary-school-place
