I write to inform you that applications for a reception school place and transferring from infant to junior school (year 3) – September 2024 opens on today, Monday 6 November 2023 for children living in Nottinghamshire.

Children who are 5 years old between 1 September 2024 and 31 August 2025 or who are transferring from an infant school (year 2) to junior school (year 3) in September 2024, and require a school place for September 2024, need to apply before the closing date of 15 January 2024.

Please help us promote the importance of applying on time as it increases the chances of parents being offered one of their preferred schools, a leaflet is attached for you to share electronically with parents as appropriate.

All known Nottinghamshire children eligible to apply will be sent an application pack to their home address today, Monday 6 November 2023. Children who live outside of Nottinghamshire should contact their home local authority for information about applying.

We recommend that parents apply online at www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/admissions, they will then be able to view the outcome of their application on National Offer Day 16 April 2024. For those parents who do not apply online, and do not provide an email address, their outcome will be posted 2nd class on 16 April 2024 and no outcomes can be given over the telephone.

Parents are encouraged to read the oversubscription criteria carefully for their preferred schools and use all 4 preferences.

Please direct parents to our website www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/admissions where they can find a wide range of useful information regarding the admissions process in the Admissions to schools: Guide for parents 2024-2025 and the Admissions to schools: School information 2024-2025.

Thank you for your help.

Nottinghamshire County Council

Dear Parish,

I am from the Education appeals department at Nottinghamshire County Council. At education appeals we are responsible for hearing appeals for many of the primary schools and academies across Nottinghamshire when parents have been refused a place at a school. We have a pool of volunteer panel members (some with education experience and some without) who sit at appeal hearings and make decisions on these appeals. Due to the increasing demand for appeals and to maintain our pool of independent panel members, we would like more people to join us on these panels. As such we are asking you if we can put an advertisement in your local parish newsletter, pamphlet or online seeking new volunteers.

If you are interested to find out more or if you simply want to find out how you can help please send us an email at: [email protected] titled Recruitment of Panel Members Education Appeals.

We will then send an advert and information to put in your publication.

Kind regards

James Harvey

FOOTPATH OBSTRUCTIONS

Nottingham County Council is asking local residents to inform them at 0115 977 4802 if they are aware of any public footpaths on arable land in the parish that are being obstructed by crops.
Senior Rights of Way Officer for the joint partnership, Jane Baines, is anxious to ensure that obstructions do not take place and says they will write to any farmers who do not heed requests to rectify the position where blockages are allowed to occur.
The Nottingham County Council says that where obstructions do occur farmers will be asked to remove them or the County Council will carry out the work and charge the farmer for it.
