Admissions Information

Thank you for your interest in Kings Rise Academy. If you would like to apply for a place for

your child, please refer to the appropriate section below depending on their age and current

educational circumstances.

Registering Interest – Children Not Currently in Education

If you wish to apply for a place at Kings Rise Academy, please visit the school office to collect an Admission Form. This form should be completed at home and returned to the office along with:

● Proof of your child’s date of birth (e.g. passport or birth certificate)

● Proof of address (e.g. council tax bill, tenancy agreement, or utility bill)

Once the Office Team receives the completed form, your child will be added to our waiting list. If a place becomes available, we will contact you directly.

Please note: In line with data protection requirements, applications are destroyed annually for children not on roll. If you still wish to register interest after this period, you will need to re-apply.

Mid-Year Admissions

Transferring to Kings Rise Academy

If you would like your child to transfer from another school to Kings Rise Academy, please

request an “in-year” or “mid-year” transfer form from your child’s current school. After completing your section, the school will add the required information before you return the form to us with any supporting documents. Your child will then be placed on our waiting list.

Transferring from Kings Rise Academy to Another School

If you wish to move your child from Kings Rise Academy to another school, please collect the relevant transfer form from our front office. You will complete your section, and we will add the school-specific information before returning the form to you to submit to your chosen school.

Visits to the School

We do not offer general tours throughout the year. However, we hold scheduled visits

annually for families applying to our EYFS Nursery and Reception classes.

If you would like to arrange a visit, please email kraenquiry@kingsrise.org with your

contact details and the year group you are enquiring about. A member of the Office Team

will contact you with further information, and a member of the Senior Leadership Team will be able to show you around the school.

Reception Admissions

Children start Reception in the September following their 4th birthday.

Applications for Reception places are made through Birmingham City Council’s online

system. The application window typically opens in October and closes in mid-January prior to the September start date.

If you require support with the online application process, please contact the school office.

This applies to all children, including those already attending Kings Rise Nursery.
