One month left for parents to apply for school places
Date Added: 17/12/2021
There is only one month left for parents to apply for school places if their child is due to start school or go to middle school in September 2022.
Applications are now open. Parents applying for their children to start either a lower or primary school must apply before 15 January 2022, even if their child already attends a nursery or pre-school on the school site.
Parents applying for a place for their child at a middle school must also apply before 15 January 2022, even if the child already attends a feeder school and lives in the catchment area.
For the academic year September 2021/22, the Council offered first preferences to 94 per cent of applications to primary school and 95 per cent of applications to middle school.
Councillor Sue Clark, Executive Member for Families, Education and Children, said: “It’s really important that parents are aware of the deadline to apply for school places, so if you haven’t applied already please do as soon as possible. The easiest way to apply for a place is via our website, which also contains lots of information about the application process.”
