Hello
No-one has explained how we get our daughter into a primary school, and as shes 4 in january im becomeing a bit worrid. Can someone please tell me where we get the forms from (Council)? or do we just apply to the school themselves? How many schools can we apply for?

i live in the UK.

Any info would be great.

Ring L.E.A (Local Education Authority) for a list of primary schools in your catchment area, contact the schools in person and then make personal visits to the schools that you would like your child to go to.

get in touch with your local council for the form, or have a look in your local libary, in coventry there are normally posters all over the place from september giving you a number to ring........if i remember correctly the forms have to be in by end of january. i am pretty certain that you can apply for up to 3 schools, go and visit as many as you can before hand, its probably one of the most important choice, you have made about your child, and go on first instinct, and talk to other parents. and good luck, i am sure your child will love school, my son is just about to start secondary school, and it dont get any easier, and just as scary!!!
