Applications for a place at a Worcestershire school must be submitted by Wednesday, January 15, with the cut-off point being midnight.
Councillor David Chambers, cabinet member for education at Worcestershire County Council, said: “Starting or moving to the next stage of school is a significant milestone for children, and we want to ensure a smooth and seamless process.
“Last year, we’re pleased that over 95 per cent of children starting school received their first-choice school.
“Meeting the application deadline is crucial to securing a place for your child, and I would encourage all parents and carers to make sure their application is sent in time.”
Applications can be made online through the council’s school admissions website, which operates round-the-clock.
Updates or changes can be made until the deadline.
For those without internet access, free online services are available at Worcestershire libraries.
Parents requiring further assistance can contact the school admissions team at 01905 822700.
