Mettmann: Schoolplatz bottleneck for registrations for 2025!

Mettmann: Schoolplatz bottleneck for registrations for 2025!

The registrations of the fourth graders at the secondary schools in Mettmann recently took place from February 24th to 26th. A total of 356 students were registered for the school year 2025/2026. 329 children live in Mettmann and 27 in surrounding cities. Interestingly, 40 children from the Mettmann primary schools either have not registered or remain in fourth grade for another year.

like SuperTipp-Online reported, the registrations were recorded in several schools: Registrations, comprehensive school 118 and the Konrad-Heresbach-Gymnasium 97 registrations. Positive news is that 95 % of the first wishes of the Mettmann students can be met, even if the registrations at the Heinrich-Heine-Gymnasium decline slightly, but remain consistently high. In contrast, registrations at the comprehensive school have increased, but are below the figures of the previous year.

places and overhang children

Despite the high number of registrations at the Heinrich-Heine-Gymnasium, there is a challenge: With 141 registrations, the school has more students than places that are only 120. At the beginning of March, the overhang children will be coordinated with the upper school supervision. Parents who are affected by a cancellation will be informed promptly about the acceptance and cancellation. You have the option of registering your child at the school of secondary school, with sufficient places available for second wishes at the Mettmann schools.

To make it easier to decide for a secondary school, the Heinrich Heine-Gymnasium offers various information events. A MINT trial afternoon is scheduled to take place on November 19, 2024, followed by an open day on January 17, 2025. The registration period for the coming school year will run from February 3 to 7, 2025. For this purpose, certain documents such as the identity card of the parents and the final certificate must also be presented.

advice for parents

In addition, interested parents can go to headmaster HR. Borck and head of department Mr. Wear Kaschner to arrange individual consulting appointments. The information evening for parents will take place on November 26, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. in the school's break hall. A digital information evening on January 14, 2025 is also planned.

The current development in the school landscape Mettmann shows that interest in secondary schools is great. Schools strive to meet the wishes of the students and also offer numerous events for promoting and information. While the last registrations can fluctuate up to the summer vacation, the course for the coming years has already been determined.
