Anyone who pays their council tax to Stoke-on-Trent City Council can use our application form to apply for a place for their child for admission to any publicly funded school in England as this council is classed as your ‘home’ local authority. If you pay your council tax to a different council, please use their application form, even if you want to apply for a Stoke-on-Trent school.
In addition to primary and secondary schools, Stoke-on-Trent has infant and junior schools. The normal point of entry to these schools is the reception class in an infant school and year 3 in a junior school. To secure places in these schools for September admission (the normal point of entry), you will need to complete your home local authority’s application form.
Please note: The deadline for applications is 15 January. Please make sure you apply on time to avoid disadvantage as late applications are considered after all on-time applications and may be unsuccessful.
The easiest way to do this is by completing our online application form by clicking the link below:
