Time is running out for parents and carers to submit applications for children starting school in the next academic year.
The deadline to apply for a place at a Worcestershire Primary, First, or Middle school is 15 January 2025, with applications closing at midnight.
Councillor David Chambers, Cabinet Member for Education at Worcestershire County Council said: "Starting or moving to the next stage of school is a significant milestone for children, and we want to ensure a smooth and seamless process.
“Last year, we’re pleased that over 95% of children starting school, received their first-choice school. Meeting the application deadline is crucial to secure a place for your child, and I would encourage all parents and carers to make sure their application is sent in time.
Applying online is quick, convenient, and secure. The Council’s School Admissions website is accessible 24/7, allowing parents and carers to make updates or changes until midnight on the closing date.
For those without internet access, free online services are available at Worcestershire libraries. Parents needing further assistance can contact the School Admissions team at 01905 822700.
