Admission Procedures
We are delighted that you are considering St. Peter's School for your child's education. St. Peter's is its own Admissions Authority which means that the governors are responsible for the allocation of places, although Walsall Children's Services do undertake some of the administration side of the the process on our behalf.
Further information regarding admissions to the school is available below. Should you require any further assistance, please contact the school office on 01922 710872.
Nursery Admissions
If you would like your child to be considered for a place in our Nursery, please complete our Nursery application form that is attached on this page. You can visit our school office to pick up an application form in person, or please email the completed form to postbox@st-peters.walsall.sch.uk along with your child's birth certificate and baptismal certificate, if they have been baptised Catholic. This will complete the application process. If your application is successful, your child will be allocated a Nursery place to begin the term following their third birthday and you will receive a letter confirming this information.
Please note we run morning sessions, afternoon sessions and all-day sessions. We will always strive to offer you a place for the session you have chosen, however, please note that this is dependant on the spaces we have available at the time of admission.
We have three intakes throughout the academic year – September, January and April, which enables you the opportunity to enrol your child as soon as they reach the age of three.
Nursery funding
All children are entitled to 15 hours free nursery education. Our Nursery also offers 30 hours funded education for parents/carers who are eligible. For more information regarding eligibility for 30 hours please click the link below:
If you are completing your application for an all-day, 30-hour funded place, we require your 30 hour code, parent's D.O.B, parent's name and parent's NI to be supplied to the school office along with your application to complete your admission.
