Last year 96% of Leicestershire parents submitted their application online and we encourage people to use this approach.

“As the closing date draws near, we are reminding parents to apply for the maximum of three different schools, including their catchment school. 

"There is no automatic entry for any school, so it is very important for applications to be completed in full and submitted before the closing date.
