THE deadline for parents to make online applications for their children for primary school places in the district managed by Lancashire County Council is about to close.
The last date for the applications to be accepted online is tomorrow, Tuesday, January 15.
Staff at Lancashire County Council are keen to remind parents that they need to submit the completed form for all children starting school, even if the child already has an older brother or sister at their preferred school.
The quickest and easiest way to apply is online via the county council’s website. Last year 95 per cent of parents used this method.
Parents whose children attend Lancashire primary schools or academies, but live in another local authority area, should apply via the local authority where they live.
For more information go to www.lancashire.gov.uk/schools for details including how to pick a preference, appeals and waiting lists, admission criteria and special educational needs.
Parents can also call on 0300 123 6707.
