“ It’s that time of year again when we remind parents to complete their primary school applications.
Applications close on 15 January 2025, and our school admissions team are hosting drop-in sessions so parents and carers can attend with any questions or queries they may have.
The drop-ins are happening across the borough, so I highly recommend going along to speak with a member of the team if you have any questions.
Please remember that you can apply for a place at up to three schools for your child, and list them in an order of preference, so do make use of all three preferences! “
