If you have children starting primary school in September 2025, make sure you apply by Wednesday 15 January 2025.
Applications will close after this time, so we’d recommend applying in good time.
You can find all you need to know about the process by visiting the School Admissions page on the Coventry City Council website.
Deciding which school you would prefer your child to attend is one of the most important decisions parents and children have to make. We want to make sure that the first step is as smooth as possible for your family. It is important to have all the information available to enable you, with your child, to take a considered view of the school you would like them to secure a place at.
Primary schools in the city serve children between the ages of 4 and 11 years. Make sure you allow yourselves plenty of time to go through this, and the catchment area information, for the areas you live.
If you are a Coventry resident but want to apply for schools in other Local Authorities, such as Warwickshire or Solihull, you only have to complete a Coventry application form and indicate the school you want on this form.
