School

What's the process of applying to schools for our June 22 babies? Do we receive some sort of communication to start the process? When do we start going to school open days and actually applying etc? FTM and got no idea how it all works!

Apply online I believe that's what I need to do but I need to wait till the beginning of the September term 🙄🙄

How to apply Follow your local council’s application process to: apply for a primary school place You must still apply for a place, even if the school is linked to your child’s current nursery, infant or primary school. Apply directly for: a 6th form place at a school or college a place at a private school Applying for a primary school place: You must apply for a primary school place a year before your child can start school. The school starting age is 4. Your child will be 3 or have just turned 4 when you apply. This is true even if you want your child to start later - you’ll be able to ask for a later start when you apply. Applications open in September each year and close on 15 January.

You have to apply on line. With us it was through the council. I think i just googled it but also one of his groups also shared the link x

Think it depends on your local council. Applying for where I am starts in November and closing date is in January x

Depends on your area but most schools will have school tours that you can book onto that happen during the day. These usually start in September. If the schools you go look at have a morning or afternoon tour, try and get on the afternoon tour as it won’t be as rushed as the morning one that will usually happen between the start of school and break time.

As everyone said - apply online, i believe it opens in October and closes early January. You will be emailed your school place middle of April. I can't believe our June 22 babies are going to school next year, it makes no sense! I have only just sent my November 19 baby, I'm so confused!
