The window has opened for applications for reception places at infant and primary schools in the City of Wolverhampton for September 2018. The online application process is quick and easy and families have until 15 January, 2018, to register their preferences.
Councillor Claire Darke, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Education, said: "Parents or guardians of children who are due to start school for the first time in September 2018 should set aside time now to think carefully about which school they'd prefer their child to attend.
"This is one of the most important decisions that people will make for their child, and the good news is that the application process is straightforward and should only take a few minutes to complete.
"It's important that parents and guardians get their applications in by the deadline of 15 January, 2018, as applying after this time could have a detrimental effect on the chance of securing a place at one of their preferred schools.
"Latest figures show that 89% of schools in Wolverhampton are rated as "Good" or "Outstanding" by Ofsted, the highest ever, so there has never been a better time to go to school in our City."
