Biggleswade parents need to get school applications in now

The deadline for applications is Monday, 15 January 2018.

Ahead of that date there are still hundreds of parents and carers across Central Bedfordshire who are yet to get their application in.

For starting school places, around 250 people, mainly Biggleswade, Houghton Regis and Leighton Buzzard have yet to apply.

And for transfer to middle places, almost 210 applications have not been submitted.

Councillor Steven Dixon, Executive Member for Education and Skills, said: “If you don’t get your application in before the deadline then you run the risk of missing your first preference and your child or children not starting school or transferring to middle school with their friends.

“Applying online is the quickest and easiest way – and you can review and change your application right up to the deadline on 15 January.”
