PARENTS across Dorset are being reminded that they have until October 31 to apply for their children’s secondary or upper school places.
Hundreds of children have yet to have an application submitted for them and may miss out on the chance to get into their preferred school.
Councillor Andrew Parry, Cabinet member for Education, Learning and Skills at Dorset County Council said: "It is of paramount importance that any parent wanting their child to be offered a place at a preferred secondary or upper school applies by the deadline.
"It is regrettable that any applications received after this date won’t be considered until the late round in February, so please don’t take the risk of leaving it too late."
The deadline for middle, junior and reception classes is January 15.
Details of how to apply are available on Dorset County Council, Bournemouth council and Borough of Poole websites.
