“The application process is now live, so I would encourage parents to go online as soon as possible. I’m sure they will find it useful to familiarise themselves with the process and take a look at the admissions criteria of the schools they’re considering.

“Unfortunately some applications come in late every year and these simply can’t be considered at the same time as those we receive on time. So it is much better to be prepared early, rather than rushing your application close to the deadline.

“This way there is time to spare to sort out any problems or get any advice. It is important to remember as well that having a child already at a school does not automatically mean that a brother or sister will be allocated a place – you must still apply.”
