Please don't worry, the earlier the application has no standing on whether they will get in. There is the 6/7 categories and it's all based on that (LAC/EHCP/CATCHMENT/SIBLING ETC).
@Paige thank you, I thought I might be but after missing out on a nursery place for my preferred school I didn't want to miss out on a school place as well
Too early you apply in October then find out the following march which school they got into :)
Yes you are applying too early. Applications don't open til 1st Nov.
