The deadline for Dorset Council secondary or upper school applications is fast approaching.
Parents and carers will need to apply by Monday October 31 for the best chance of getting a place at their preferred school. This applies to all children moving from primary to secondary school, or middle to upper school in September 2023.
Cllr Andrew Parry, Dorset Council Portfolio Holder for Children, Education and Early Help said: “Parents or carers should get their child’s application in as soon as possible to give themselves the best chance of being offered a place at one of their preferred schools.
