Admissions
Join us in Year 7
Meadow Park School is accessible to all students who live within our local communities. We have no selection process. The school coordinates their admission arrangements with the Local Authority, and these are administered by the School Admissions Team with Coventry City Council.
The school’s admission number for Year 7 is 180 for September 2026. This is supported by the local authority.
If your child is starting secondary school in September 2026 and you want to apply for a place at Meadow Park School, you should complete the online application form on Coventry City Council’s website by 31 October 2025. The application form can be found here. All offers received after the closing date will not be considered until after the national offer date of 2 March 2026.
