Making Your Application for September 2026

You must complete the Common Application Form [CAF] which must go back to your home Local Authority (LA). That being the Local Authority where you live, not where your child attends school. This should be done online by visiting their website. The link for Wolverhampton LA can be found here:

http://www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/admissions

Hard copies of the form can be obtained on request from the Local Authority. Wolverhampton LA give you five preferences. The first being the school you would most like your son/daughter to attend. We strongly recommend that you use all of your preferences to avoid being allocated a school you had not considered.

If you do not name St Regis Church of England Academy as one of your 5 preferences, you will not be considered for a place. If St Regis Church of England Academy is the school, you would most like your son/daughter to attend, then you must put St Regis Church of England Academy as your first preference.

The deadline for completing the CAF is 31st October 2025.

If you are applying for a Foundation Place (for families who are faithful and regular worshippers of a church which is a member of the Evangelical Alliance, Churches Together in Britain and Ireland or Churches together in England) you must also complete a Supporting Evidence Form [SEF] which can be found below together with our Admissions Policy.

On National Offer Day,  Monday 2nd March 2026, (if you applied online) you will receive an email from the LA to advise which school you have been allocated. If you did not apply online, you will have to wait for a letter to be sent through the post.

If you named St Regis Church of England Academy as a higher preference to the school you've been allocated, you will automatically be placed on the waiting list, which is maintained until 31st December 2025

In-Year Admissions

 If you would like to apply for an in-year/midterm transfer for your child, you need to complete an In-Year Common Application Form [IN-CAF]. Further information can be found on the Wolverhampton City Council website:

Appeals

Families who have made an application for their child to be admitted to the Academy but have been unsuccessful, have the right to appeal.

If you wish to appeal please call the St Regis’ Admissions Officer on 01902 558333 option 3 or email admissions@stregisacademy.org in the first instance.

Details of your appeal should then be sent to School Admissions at City of Wolverhampton Council and full details can be found here: Independent Admission Appeal Form | City Of Wolverhampton Council

Once received by the Clerk to the Appeals panel at the Civic Centre, a hearing for your case to be heard by an Independent Appeals Panel will be arranged. You do not have to be present at the Appeal as it will still be heard in your absence. Also present at the appeal will be a representative from the Academy.

Once all hearings have taken place, a decision will be made, and you will be informed in writing of the outcome.
