Please check that your websites are up to date with details for families making applications to transfer to secondary school from September 2025, including details of your admissions policy and published admission number for 2025/6. The local authority publishes details of your open day/evening events so let us know if you make any changes to these arrangements - secondaryadmissions@coventry.gov.uk
Your websites also need to provide information about the processes for making in year applications, and in Coventry this means including a link to our 2024/5 co-ordinated admissions scheme.
Please see DfE guidance for further details including school appeal requirements.
Elective Home Education: Flexi Schooling Guidance for Schools and Parents
EHE referrals should be promptly processed using the secure online referral form on our website only. A guide to what schools can do to support those who enquire or opt for EHE can be found on our website in our guide for schools. Please do not delay in completing referral forms as this can create a safeguarding gap. Children should be removed from roll from the date specified by the parent or the date of confirmation that they want to deregister. In the first instance defer to the website and downloads as this has a comprehensive look at all aspects of EHE.
