Parents of children due to start primary school in September have just a few days left to submit their applications.

Harrow Council is reminding all families with children born between September 1, 2010 and August 31, 2011 to apply for their primary school places before January 15.

Parents with a child or children already attending a nursery attached to a primary school must still submit an application, as there is no guarantee they will get a place at a primary school.

Councillor Simon Brown, who is responsible for children, schools and young people, said: “Time is running out for primary school applications. Applying is easy through our school admissions online application.

“I encourage all parents who haven’t already done so to submit their applications before it’s too late and so that children do not miss out on a primary school place this September.”
