Parents with children in Cambridgeshire due to start at primary school this September must apply for a place before the end of this week.
Applications need to be completed and submitted by Saturday January 15. Online applications are encouraged.
Parents are also encouraged to apply for a place at their child’s catchment school to maximise the chances of obtaining a place.
It’s important that they apply to the correct council.
Cllr Bryony Goodliffe, chair of Cambridgeshire County Council’s children and young people’s committee, said: “Starting primary school is a significant stage of a child’s education.
"It's essential that the transition is as smooth and seamless as possible.
“An important part of that process is to apply for a place quickly and accurately, so I would urge parents to do that as soon as possible – and by January 15 at the latest.”
