Hodnet is a popular school, and over the past few years the number of applications in some year groups has exceeded our pupil admissions number of 29. In these circumstances the Local Authority admissions policy and appeal procedure can be actioned.
Hodnet school’s current admissions policy for pupils, including those with disabilities, is operated by the Shropshire Local Authority (LA). Please contact school in the first instance if you would like to enquire about a place, then follow the link below to complete the application for the LA to process.

What to do next…
You are very welcome to visit our school by prior arrangement with our head teacher. We invite children to visit school prior to admission to allow teachers to get to know the children. This way children make a more secure and speedy start to their school learning.
