You must apply for a primary school place a year before your child can start school. The school starting age is 4.
Your child will be 3 or have just turned 4 when you apply.
This is true even if you want your child to start later - you’ll be able to ask for a later start when you apply.
Applications open in September each year and close on the 15th of January every year.
Worcestershire Admissions
To apply for a placement, you will need an email address. You will be sent an email receipt to acknowledge your application has been submitted. If you do not have access to the internet at home, you can make an application at any Worcestershire library.
In the second part of the summer term parents/carers are invited to a ‘Welcome to Early Years Induction Evening’. At this meeting we share our starting school information pack which includes everything you need to get off to a great start at Dodford First School. Your child is invited to a ‘stay and play’ session and a one-to-one teacher meeting will be arranged for the start of the Autumn Term.
