Deadline for applying for your childs secondary place is approaching
Time is running out for families to apply for their child’s secondary school place for September 2015.
Parents and carers of year six pupils are reminded they only have until Friday (31 Oct) to apply for their child’s secondary school place.
The deadline for applications for children born between 1 September 2003 and 31 August 2004 is Friday 31 October 2014.
Applying online is the easiest method. Just visit the school admissions section of our website at www.derbyshire.gov.uk/admissions (opens in a new window)
It is quick and allows parents to make changes to their application at any point up to the closing date. Anyone who applies online also receives an email to confirm their application has been received.
Parents who do not have access to a computer can Call Derbyshire on 01629 533190 between 8am and 8pm on weekdays and 9.30am and 4pm on Saturdays.
If for some reason parents are unable to make an application either online or by telephone they can ring the admissions and appeals team on 01629 537479.
When completing the application form parents will be asked to list, in order of preference, the three schools they would most like their child to go to.
Although parents have a legal right to express preferences they have no automatic right to a place at any particular school.
Applications submitted after the deadline will not be considered until places have been allocated to those children whose parents did return their form on time. Parents who fail to meet the deadline may find that the school they want their child to go to is full.
Councillor Jim Coyle, Deputy Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said:
If parents haven’t applied already we would urge them to do so without delay. Only by applying before the deadline can they give themselves the best chance of getting the school they want.
"Missing the deadline could mean children not getting into the same school as their friends and having to travel further to an alternative school."
Any parents who are a refused a place for their child have a right of appeal to an independent panel. Apply for your child’s place online at www.derbyshire.gov.uk/admissions (opens in a new window)
