PARENTS of children due to start secondary school in September, 2021, are being reminded to get their applications in for the schools of their choice by Saturday, October 31.
Online applications for parents of children attending secondary schools in both North Yorkshire and in Lancashire, must be completed before November 1.
A spokesperson for Lancashire County Council said online applications via the council website were the quickest and easiest way to apply for a place.
“It is important to remember that parents need to submit an application form for all children starting school, especially if the child has an older brother or sister at the school concerned.
“If you’re applying for a place for a child starting primary school, the closing date is Friday, January 15 2021, but making sure your application is in early gives you extra time in case there are any changes.”
Parents living in one local authority area, but applying to a school in a different authority area need to apply to the local authority where the school or academy is.
