If your child was born between the 1st September 2011 and 31st August 2012 then they will be due to start school in reception in September 2016. From October 2015 you will be able to register places for your child at whichever school is your preferred choice. You can select up to three schools in order of your preference.
This does not guarantee your child a place at your first choice of school, but if you are in the catchment area and there are places then you will usually be offered this. Some parents get preference over others such as if you already have one child attending that school or if your child has a health concern that means it would be easier if they attended one closest to you.
Closing date for applications is the 15th January 2016 and you should hear by the 18th April as to which school your child has been offered a place at.
