PARENTS of children who will start secondary school in 2018 have until the end of today to apply for a school place.

Bradford Council’s online admissions system will be available for applications until this evening.

Children who were born between September 1, 2006, and August 31, 2007, will be due to start secondary school in September 2018.

Parents have already received information about making an application for secondary school from their child’s current primary school. Anyone who does not have this should contact the Council’s admissions team.

The Council’s online system allows people to view and amend their application at anytime until the closing date. People will receive an automated email acknowledging that their application has been received.

Only one application may be submitted for a child but parents can choose up to five secondary schools in that application.
