With the summer holidays behind us and the back-to-school season coming to a close, it’s now likely that school is one of the few things on the minds of parents and guardians.
But if you’ve got a child in their final year of primary school, now’s a good time to start thinking about choices as they move to the next stage of their schooling.
Admissions are currently open for all secondary schools in the Wrexham county borough – and if your child turns 11 before August 31, 2020, they will be eligible to apply.

“We want to make it as easy as possible”
Cllr Phil Wynn, Lead Member for Education, said: “We know parents and guardians will start looking at options for their children as they look to go into the next phase of their schooling, and the move from primary education to secondary level can be quite a daunting one – so we want to make sure the process is as smooth and easy as possible.
“As such, I’d encourage anyone keen to start the application process to do so online via our website.”
The admission phase for primary schools will open later this month, from Monday, September 30, 2019 until Friday, November 22, 2019.
We’ll have more details on primary school applications once the admissions phase is open.
