Starting school - Wokingham information sessions
Wokingham Borough Council is holding three advice and information drop-in sessions to help parents of children due to start school. The sessions will help parents to understand the admission system ahead of selecting their preferences for infant and primary schools.
In November, parents of children born between September 1, 2004 and August 31, 2005 will be applying for primary school places. Wokingham Cllr Norman Jorgensen, executive member for children’s services, said: “Applying for a school place can be quite daunting for parents. A good understanding of the school admission application and allocation process helps parents make realistic preferences for their children’s primary school. I hope many parents will take up this opportunity and come along to one of the information sessions to find out more.”
The three Wokingham drop-in sessions are designed to provide the necessary understanding of the process and allow parents to ask any questions they have and discuss what sorts of things they are looking for in a school. They are being held at:
- The Brambles Children’s Centre, Budges Gardens, Wokingham, on Monday, July 7 from 10am to 12 noon.
- The Ambleside Centre, Ambleside Close, Woodley, on Tuesday July 8 from 1pm to 2.30pm.
- The Riverdale Children’s Centre, Silverdale Road, Earley, on Friday July 11 from 10.15am to 12.15pm.
Places are limited so parents will need to book a place from Tammy Howard, Wokingham Borough Council’s school preference advisor, on 0118 935 2255 or email: tammy.howard@wokingham.gov.uk.
