The deadline is fast approaching for applications for reception places at infant and primary schools in Wolverhampton, and parents and guardians have until next Thursday (15 January, 2015) to register their preferred choice of school.
Councillor Phil Page, Wolverhampton City Council's Cabinet Member for Schools, Skills and Learning, said: "Parents or guardians of children who are due to start school this autumn should set aside some time as a matter of urgency to decide which school they'd prefer their child to attend.
"This is one of the most important decisions you will make for your child's future. The application process is straightforward and should only take a few minutes to complete.
"It's important that you get your applications in by the deadline of 15 January as more than 3,000 pupils in Wolverhampton are expected to start in reception classes in September - and failing to apply in time could jeopardise your chance of securing a place at one of your preferred schools."
