Admission to School

We welcome your interest in a place at our academy. Every day is an open day here, so please contact us to arrange a visit, we are very proud of all that we can offer your child.

In-Year Applications

An application can be made for a place for a child at any time outside the admission round
and the child will be admitted where there are available places. An application should be
made via the local authority by completing the in-year admissions application form which is
available from
https://www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/education-and-schools/school-admissions/changing-
schools

As a Catholic School, parent will also need to complete a Supplementary Information Form
in addition to the standard application form that is submitted to the local authority.
Supplementary Information Forms can be obtained from the school’s website at
https://corpuschristiacademy.co.uk/about-us/admissions/
or a hard copy can be provided on request by contacting the school office on 01902 866840
or office@corpuschristiacademy.co.uk

Supplementary Information Forms must be returned directly to the school at
Corpus Christi Catholic Primary Academy
Ashmore Avenue
Wolverhampton
WV11 2LT
Or office@corpuschristiacademy.co.uk

If a Supplementary Information Form is not submitted directly to the school this may affect
the priority given to the application and could affect the likelihood of your child being offered
a place.

The local authority will forward your application to the school for consideration by the
governors.

Where there are places available but more applications than places, the published
oversubscription criteria, as set out in the admission arrangements for 2024/2025, will be
applied. The full admission arrangements can be accessed from
https://corpuschristiacademy.co.uk/about-us/policies/ or by contacting the school office to
request a hard copy. Parents are advised to read the admission arrangements carefully
before making their application.

If there are no places available, the local authority will notify you of this decision on behalf of
the governors and the child will be added to the waiting list. Please see the admission
arrangements for more details regarding waiting lists.

You will be advised of the outcome of your application in writing as soon as possible.
Applicants must be informed of the outcome of their application within 15 school days of its
receipt, but the aim is to notify applicants of the outcome of their application within 10 school
days of its receipt.

You have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel if your application is
unsuccessful.
