Parents urged to apply for 2009 primary school places now

Parents whose children are due to start classes in Monmouthshire primary schools in September 2009 are being urged to get their application forms in to the council on time.

Peter Fox, Leader of Monmouthshire County Council, said:

"We made packs available to parents on November 19^th and anyone who hasn't yet received an application should get in touch with us.

"Application forms which are not received by 31^st December 2009 this year will be considered after those received on time. That means parents who send in application forms late are at greater risk of not being allocated places at their first preference school for their child - even if they have other children already in the school."
