Parents and carers who need to apply for a full-time place for their child at their preferred primary school for the 2015/2016 school year have until the 15th January 2015 to do so. Anyone with children born between the dates above can apply for up to three schools, either on-line (which is recommended) or using the paper application form.
An application must be made, even if the child already has a place in a nursery class, pre-school or children’s centre. Any applications received after the deadline will be considered after all the other applications have been processed. This could mean there are no places left at a preferred or nearby school.
In 2014, more of Suffolk’s four and five year olds received offers for a place at their preferred primary school than in the previous year. SCC received 7,632 applications from parents outlining which school they would prefer their children to be educated at from September 2014. Of those, 92% received offers for their first preference and 97% received an offer from one of their three preferences.
Any parents or carers who have not yet applied for a school place should apply online or download an application form at: www.suffolk.gov.uk/admissionstoschools or contact Suffolk County Council immediately on 0345 600 0981.
