Statement from Councillor Jonathan Pryor
Whether your child is starting primary school or moving onto secondary school, choosing which schools to apply for is one of the most important decisions a family can make. We understand this and are committed to working with parents and carers to help and support them as they make this decision.
“To help parents and carers make their preferences, a range of information is available both directly from schools and from the council. Schools will provide information about their own admissions policy, open events, transport and uniforms. The admissions pages of the council website provide details about previous allocation rounds, links to Ofsted reports and links to each school as well as further details about admissions policies.
It is vitally important that families submit their school preferences before the given deadline. We also strongly advise using all five preferences to give the best chance of being allocated a place at a preferred school.”
Councillor Jonathan Pryor
Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Economy, Culture and Education
