THE LAST chance to apply for a Leeds primary school reception place for September 2022 is approaching, with the deadline on Saturday, January 15.

Families are advised to use all five of their preferences to give their child the best chance of being allocated a place at a preferred school. Using less than five will not increase the chances of being offered their first preference.

The application form can be completed online at www.leeds.gov.uk/apply.

Families will also find a range of information on the website to help them choose their five preferences, including advice on the application process, links to individual admissions policies, information about school transport, as well as allocation data from previous years to help families decide if there is a reasonable chance of being offered a place at the schools they are listing.

Parents and carers can also watch a video showing the key steps of the application process.
