Deadline nears for primary school places in North East Lincolnshire
PARENTS have been warned to get their applications for primary school places in by the deadline on Friday or risk losing out on their first choice.
Parents or guardians with children due to start their first school in September this year must get their applications for places in by this coming Friday, January 11.
-
Return your forms: Those who don't get their applications in by this Friday will not be refused a place, but may well lose out on their first choice.
Those who don't will not be refused a place, but may well lose out on their first choice as North East Lincolnshire Council must give preference to those who apply on time.
Parents have also been advised to consider that children who go to nursery at a primary school or live in the catchment area are not guaranteed a place there in September so must apply on time, either by post or online.

Councillor Iain Lindley, portfolio holder for people's services, said: "We have tried to make it as easy as possible for parents and carers to apply on time with both the paper common application forms and the online facility.
"An application must be submitted, otherwise parents and carers risk their child not being allocated a place at their preferred schools.
"We urge parents and carers to return their forms or apply online as soon as possible and we will offer help and advice to any that need it."
