HEADS UP

Online events by WCC school admissions team

You are invited to meet the WCC school admissions team at two online events this month.  

The first will give you an update on the recent change to how we manage in-year applications, and the second will focus on the upcoming secondary place application deadline. There will be an opportunity during both events for you to ask questions, or you can submit them in advance here: https://forms.office.com/r/yCRcHmizLX 

We would also be grateful if you could please share the details of a further two events which have been organised for parents and carers of year 6 children (details below).
