Bracknell

Applications for Bracknell school places are set to be easy-pc thanks to a new service set to launch in September.

Parents and carers will be able to apply for a secondary school place for their child at one of Bracknell Council’s schools from the comfort of their own home using a new online system.

From this September anyone with a child who is due to transfer from primary to secondary school in September 2007 will be able to apply for secondary school places online.

The service will be extended later in the year to enable applications for children starting primary school during the 2007-2008 academic year.

Martin Gocke, Assistant Director of Bracknell Education, Children’s Services & Libraries, said: “The online service will run alongside the existing paper-based applications process as we know some people can’t access the internet easily. Online applications should take less time to complete as well as being more convenient.”

Parents or carers with queries about school admissions can visit www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk website or call 01344 354023 or 354144. More information about online applications will be available later in the summer.
