Parents or carers of children born between 1st September 2005 and 31st August 2006 must apply for reception places in primary schools by 30th November 2009.Applications can be made via www.essex.gov.uk/admissions. The site enables parents to search for school information, check admissions criteria, read OFSTED reports, and submit an application right up to the deadline. Parents preferring a paper application form should call 0845 603 2200.
Late applications will be given lower priority, and only considered after all those submitted before the deadline. Parents or carers are advised to indicate more than one preference and to include their priority admissions or catchment school as one of their preferences.
Essex County Council Cabinet Member for Education, Cllr Stephen Castle added: “This year over 90% of parents obtained their first or second choice of school, so give yourself the best opportunity of securing one of your preferences by submitting your application on time.”
