Councillor Tracey Onslow, cabinet member with responsibility for Education at 51��¥ said, “Starting school and the move to the next stages of education are important and exciting steps in the lives of children and young people. 

 &�Բ�����;

“We aim to make this change as smooth as possible. Every child that has applied for a place, on time, will receive an offer of a school place. 

 &�Բ�����;

“Therefore, it is especially important that application deadlines are met, to maximise the potential of receiving an offer at one of your preferred schools for 2024.”
