Online applications have been encouraged and parents/carers have been reminded that they must apply to the correct council.

If you are a Cambridgeshire resident, you will have to make your application through Cambridgeshire County Council’s Admissions Team, even if you want to apply for a school outside Cambridgeshire. If you are a Peterborough resident you must apply to Peterborough City Council.

Parents have been advised to apply for a place at their child’s catchment school to maximise the chances of obtaining a place.

Cllr Lynne Ayres, Peterborough City Council’s Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, Education, Skills and the University, said: “There is always a demand for school places and some parents will naturally be disappointed that their child has not been offered a place at their first choice school. But if parents apply online and apply to their child’s catchment school if they can, we are more likely to be able to meet their wishes and ensure all children benefit from an enjoyable and fulfilling education.”
