Completed application forms must be and returned to the School Office Manager, Mrs D Hennessy. Please ensure that this form is completed fully. Please note that if your child is baptised Catholic, you must attach a copy of their baptismal certificate in order for the correct priority to be given to your application. This is a very important aspect to the application if  school is oversubscribed.

Where there are places available but more applications than places, the published oversubscription criteria, as set out in the admission arrangements for 2025/2026, will be applied. The full admission arrangements can be accessed from https://www.st-marymount.walsall.sch.uk/ /parents/admissions or by contacting the school office to request a hard copy   Parents are advised to read the admission arrangements carefully before making their application.

If there are no places available, the child will be added to the waiting list and further information relating to this will be included in the letter sent from the school advising you of the outcome of your application.  Please see the admission arrangements for more details.

You will be advised of the outcome of your application in writing as soon as possible.  Applicants must be informed of the outcome of their application within 15 school days of its receipt, but the aim is to notify applicants of the outcome of their application within 10 school days of its receipt.

You have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel if your application is unsuccessful.
