Admissions / Derbyniadau
Gaining a place at Caldicot School
Children are transferred from primary to secondary school in the academic year in which their twelfth birthday falls (between 1st September to 31st August ).
How do I apply for a secondary school for my child?
Having read all the information available from the local authority and from individual schools, parent(s)/carer(s) may indicate their preferred school for their child. Parent(s)/Carer(s) and their children are welcome to visit our school before making a decision. Our annual school Open Evening is advertised on our school website and details are shared with our designated partner primary schools. Alternatively, to visit the school at another time, contact the school office to arrange a tour. Before deciding to apply for a place at a particular school, you need to consider carefully how your child will travel to school, as you will not necessarily be eligible for transport assistance.
Applications must be completed by the person holding parental responsibility for the child concerned. Information relating to admissions may be found via the local authority dedicated webpage.
The system enables you to view and amend your child’s application up until the closing date of 31st October 2025 at 4pm. Alternatively, you can contact us on the details below to request a paper application form.
