Parents whose children are due to start primary school next September have just days left to apply – and extra support sessions have been arranged for parents who need help with the application process.

Getting a place at primary school is not an automatic process – parents must apply for a place for their child.

The deadline for completing the application form is 15 January 2016, and parents are urged to ensure they submit their application ahead of the deadline.

The free advice sessions are open to parents who need help with the primary admissions process. They take place every day from 11 to 15 January 2016 between 10am and 12noon in Woolwich Library.

Parents with queries about the admissions process can also contact 020 8921 8043.
