New online services launched for in-year admissions and free school meals

We are pleased to announce that the In-Year Admissions and Free School Meal online application services are now live.

Both areas officially launched their new online application services on 27 March. 

This will enable information to be shared more easily between Warwickshire County Council and schools, with in-year applications and free school meal information being stored all in one place in the School Access Module (SAM), along with existing transfer applications.

Parents and carers will benefit from being able to apply for school places (with the exception of schools that do their own in-year applications), 11+ tests, two year old funding and free school meals all in one place, with the Parent Portal.

Guidance videos

Two video guides have been put together to help with navigating the new application process for in-year admissions.
