THE APPLICATION process for reception class school places in Herefordshire is set to open next week.

Herefordshire Council’s admission process for reception class school places opens on September 14 for children who were born between September 1 2016 and August 31 2017.

Applications can be made on Herefordshire Council's website by clicking here.

Further information is available from the council’s school admissions team on 01432 260926 / 261574 or by emailing schooladmissions@herefordshire.gov.uk.

Late applications could result in not being offered a place in a preferred school, and you must still apply for a reception class place, even if you already have a place in the nursery associated with your preferred school.

The closing date for all primary school reception class applications is midnight on January 15 2021.
