Admissions

• Offers will be sent by email on 16 April 2020 by 5:15pm. Please check your SPAM or Junk folder.
• If you're happy with the school you have been offered, accept this offer by 30 April 2020.
• Please do not contact Birmingham City Council before you receive the formal notification of your child’s school place. You must be in receipt of your formal notification email before contacting the council.

Accept the place offered?

We strongly encourage you to accept the place offered to your child.

This will not affect your child’s position on any waiting lists for other schools you have not been offered a place at or any appeals you may submit. Accepting the offer will ensure that your child has a school place for September.

Waiting lists

Your child’s name will be automatically added to the waiting list for any higher preference schools than the one offered.

Being on a waiting list does not mean that a place will become available.

More information about waiting lists will be available after National Offer Day.

Appeals

After places are offered, you will have the right of appeal for any school you were refused a place at.

More information about appeals will be available after National Offer Day.

When to apply

Parents can apply for a place in the Autumn of the year before their child turns 4 years of age. It’s important that you apply for a place as soon as possible:

• attendance at a nursery class doesn’t give a child automatic priority for a place
• don’t wait until your child is 5 years old, or your preferred school may already be full

You can list up to 3 preferred schools when you apply.

If you wish to look around the school prior to making a decision on which school is best for your child then please contact the school office who will be happy to book an appointment for you.

In-Year Admissions

If you wish your child to move to Hodge Hill PS in the middle of a school year then you must contact the school office on 0121 464 2189.

Secondary School Admissions (for Year 6 Pupils)

You must accept or refuse the offers made by the deadline of 16 March 2020.

Waiting lists will be created three weeks following the offer of school places. Your child’s name will be automatically added to the waiting list for any higher preference schools than the one offered (unless your child did not achieve a high enough score in the grammar school selection test). Being on a waiting list does not mean that a place will become available.
