The application process for children due to start school in September 2022 will begin on Monday 4 October 2021. We try to advertise the application arrangements as widely as possible and it is in this connection that I now write to you.
As a service to your local community we would invite you to advertise the starting school application window in your Parish Magazine, on your website or by whatever means you normally use to communicate with your residents.
I have attached to this email a poster and leaflet giving details of the application process. The key points are:
- Apply online at www.westsussex.gov.uk/admissions
- Applications can be made and will be considered as on time, between 4 October 2021 and 15 January 2022
- Special rules apply for house movers until 11 February 2022
- Further information for parents is available on our website now
- Staff are available to support on 03330 142 903
Applications made after the closing date cannot be considered until all on time applications have been processed. This may mean it is not possible to offer a child a place at a local school. We would therefore be grateful if you could help actively encourage all parents to apply by the closing date.
If you have any questions regarding the process please do not hesitate to contact me.
In advance, please accept our thanks for your assistance and co-operation.
Kind regards
