Apply for a Place

If you wish for your child to enrol at Long Mountain Church of England Primary School, please contact the School Office to make an appointment with the Headteacher, Mr. Jon-Anders Rowlands, to meet with you and show you around the school. 

If your child has been offered a place at school, we will send you details of our parents' meetings and induction days prior to your child starting. Parents will be informed if their child has a place on April 16th 2024.
 
The school's current admissions policy is operated by the Shropshire Local Authority.

Full details of the policy, together with information about the arrangements for admission, are set out in the “Parents’  Guide to Education in Shropshire on the Shropshire Council  website.  

Any specific requests for information on admissions should be directed to the Admissions Team:
Telephone: 0345 678 9008   
Email: school-admissions@shropshire.gov.uk 
 
The school has an admission number of 17 for the Reception Year intake.  
  
Parents of Reception Year children in Shropshire will be required, in the autumn term, prior to the school year of admission to complete a Local Authority application form, stating preferences for up to three schools. Applications for this year closed on 15th January 2024. If you require a reception place for your child after this date, please contact Shropshire Council Admissions team. If there are more applications for places than are available within the admission limit, then priority will be given based on specific ranked criteria stated within the Local Authority Admissions Policy found on our Policies page. 

 

In-year Admissions 

When thinking of moving your child midterm or part way through the primary school stage, we would advise parents to discuss this with their child’s current headteacher.

Careful consideration should be given to whether such a move will be of benefit to your child and their educational progress.

Parents who wish their child to attend Long Mountain are encouraged to get in touch to arrange a visit.

To make an application, parents need to apply via the Shropshire Council admissions portal (Shropshire.gov.uk). The application will be processed and if places are available you will be offered a place for your child. The process can take up to 10 working days.
