We would appreciate if all primary schools and academies could share the attached letter with prospective parent/carers of nursery age children re applying for a Reception place for September 2022.
Parents can apply for a Reception place from 12 October and the deadline to apply is 15 January 2022. The letter provides a link to the admissions area of the North Yorkshire County Council website where all of the information they need to apply electronically is available at www.northyorks.gov.uk/admissions
If a parent is not able to apply online we are requesting your assistance in permitting parents to access a computer at your school if necessary.
Parent/Carers of pupils who live who live outside North Yorkshire must apply and obtain information from their home authority regarding their application process. If they want their child to attend a NYCC school they still need to make the application to their home authority and information will be shared between other LAs, as part of the LA’s co-ordinated admissions scheme.
The final date for parents to express a preference for a Reception school place is 15th January 2022.
If you require any further information please email schooladmissions@northyorks.gov.uk or contact us on 01609 533679
Action Required: Please share with potential parents/carers with a child who is due to start school for the first time in September 2022.
