Cheshire East parents and carers seeking a secondary school place for their child in September 2011 are being reminded to return their admissions form ahead of the October 31 deadline.
Online applications can be completed via the Council’s website www.cheshireeast.gov.uk – a method used by more than 6,000 parents and carers last year.
Online applicants benefit from being able to view their offer of places on the website on the publication date of March 1.
Parents and carers who prefer to complete a paper application can obtain a form from the Council.
Councillor Hilda Gaddum, Cabinet member with responsibility for children and families, said: “We appreciate how important it is for parents and carers to secure a place at a school of their choice, and we strive to achieve this wherever possible.
“Unfortunately, each year a number of applications are received after the deadline, which can result in a child missing out on a place at their preferred school.
“It is vital that parents and carers return their form before the October 31 deadline to ensure their application is not disadvantaged.”
An application form is available from the school admissions team on 0300 123 5012.
Independent and impartial advice on the admissions process is available from the Council’s choice advisor on 0800 408 2013.
Offers of places will be published on the Council’s website for online applicants only on March 1. Offer letters will be posted to all applicants on this date by second class post.
