Parents and carers are reminded that they have less than a week left to apply for their child’s primary school place.
Children are entitled to start school in the September after their fourth birthday, meaning parents or carers of children born during the period 1 Sept 2019 and 31 August 2020 must apply by Monday 15 January 2024.
Applications submitted after the deadline will only be considered after all the on-time applications. We are urging families to give themselves the best chance of being considered for a school they prefer by getting applications in on time.
We have also encouraged parents and carers to use all four of the preferences available and to check the admissions criteria for each school they wish to apply for. This will ensure they have the best chance of being offered a preferred place.
