Parents who have applied for their young children to go to primary school will be told if they have been given their first choice this week.

Buckinghamshire County Council will write to applicants from Thursday, informing them if they have been allocated their preferred school choice.

People who submitted applications online will receive an email after 11am on Thursday, and parents who wish to accept the offer can on the BCC website portal from 2pm the same day.

Parents are able to accept offers of school places until April 30.

If you are not able to access your child’s application, BCC say you can email your response to schoolacceptance@buckscc.gov.uk For those who submitted paper applications, responses will be posted on Thursday for receipt the following day.

And, these should be returned to the Admissions and Transport Team by April 30.
