School Admissions - It's that time already......
If you're a parent of school age children in Brighton & Hove, it's already time to start thinking about which schools you might wish to apply for to start next year.
The school admissions process has started for children due to start school or move up to junior or secondary in September 2013. The deadlines are:
- Secondary (year 7) - Wednesday October 31 at 3pm
- Reception at infant or primary school, or year 3 at junior school - Tuesday January 15 at 3pm.
Visit Brighton & Hove City Council's website at www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/schooladmissions-apply to apply online.
You'll find all the guidance you need together with details of open days and links to useful websites. You can also measure the distance from your home to the schools you wish to apply for.
Applying on time is vital. Every year there are some parents who are disappointed, and children who are not able to join their older siblings at the same school - simply because they have missed the applications deadline.
Parents who do not wish to apply online should contact the council's school admissions team on (01273) 293653 for a hard copy of the application pack.
Parents who feel they need extra help with the admissions process - perhaps because English is not their first language or they have only just moved to the city - can phone (01273) 290355 for impartial support.
