Application:
The Streetly School is a co-educational comprehensive school for students aged 11-18. Grant Maintained from 1992, the school adopted Foundation status in 1999. As a Foundation school, the Streetly School is responsible for its own admissions.
However, coordinated admission arrangements now apply to ourselves and neighbouring authorities. Therefore applications for Year 7 entry in September 2010 must be made to the local authority in which the applicant resides, using the form supplied by them.
Applications for places in other year groups should be made direct to the school.
Appeals:
Education Walsall will offer places, as part of the coordinated admission arrangements. Parents will be asked to confirm their acceptance.
- During March 2010, parents of the 2010 Year 7 intake will be offered and asked to confirm their acceptance of places.
- Should it not be possible to find places for all applicants, parents may ask to place their child on an active waiting list.
- If you do not obtain a place, you may appeal to the Chair of Governors by writing to him at school. Appeals will be heard in May/June 2010.
Help & Advice:
- Unless stated otherwise, the information in the school prospectus refers to the academic year 2009/2010 and is correct at the time of distribution in September 2009.
- An induction pack will be provided at the time of admission.
- In the meantime, for further help and advice, please do contact the school. |
