Admissions

We welcome applications from all families - you do not need to be Catholic to be part of our wonderful school.  If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below. Parents who apply online are able to receive email notification of their school place on the national offer day, rather than through the post.

You can find information on the Staffordshire County Council School Admissions page, or apply online.

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 online and below.  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 2022/23, will be applied. 

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.

If you have any questions in relation to in-year admissions please contact  office@st-johns.greathaywood.staffs.sch.uk .  You may also wish to discuss in-year applications with the local authority.
