Harborough Parents Urged To Apply For Primary Places

Parents across Harborough with children due to start at primary school in September next year can now apply for places at their preferred schools.

There is no automatic entry system, so Mums and Dads need to exercise their right to apply for three school preferences.

Councillor Deborah Taylor, Leicestershire County Council cabinet member for Children and Families, said: “Starting primary school is one of the most important moments for our children, so it’s really worth beginning this process as early as possible.

“Parents should leave enough time to research and decide on up to three schools they want to include in their application.

“The easiest way to apply is online, with these applications receiving an automatic acknowledgement when submitted.”

Parents until Saturday, 15 January 2022 to submit their applications.
