If you want your child to go to a school outside Wirral, you must include that school on your online application. If you complete a paper common application form, it must be sent to Wirral Local Authority as your home authority.
The Department will then pass your details to the other local Authority on your behalf and co-ordinate an offer of a place.
There are no arrangements for children to go to an independent school unless they have an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which shows that they should go to that kind of school. The ‘Special Education’ section provides more information on this. If you want a place at an independent school you should approach the school directly.
