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 to the school by completing the in-year admissions application form which is available below. A hard copy of the application form can be obtained by contacting the school office at enquiry@st-annes.bham.sch.uk.
Completed application forms must be returned to Mrs D. Caines at enquiry@st-annes.bham.sch.uk or in person to the school office.
Where there are places available but more applications than places, the published oversubscription criteria, as set out in the Governing Body admission arrangements for 2025/2026, will be applied. The full Governing Body admission arrangements can be accessed above or by contacting the school office to request a hard copy. Parents are advised to read the Governing Body admission arrangements carefully before making their application.
If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list and further information relating to this will be included in the letter sent from the school advising you of the outcome of your application. Please see the Governing Body admission arrangements for more details.
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.
